🚨 NOW: Trump White House honors legendary Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on the 4 years since his passing away
"Rest in Peace, PM Shinzo Abe" 🇺🇸🇯🇵
Nearly EVERY time Trump meets with PM Takaichi, Shinzo comes up 🙏🏻
Remembering the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe today. A close friend of @POTUS@realDonaldTrump, a passionate champion of the U.S.-Japan partnership, and a visionary leader, he was respected across the world — and his vision of a strong and prosperous Japan at the heart of a free and open Indo-Pacific lives on.
Quattro anni fa ci lasciava Shinzo Abe.
Grande statista e sincero amico dell’Italia, ricordiamo il suo profondo impegno per il Giappone, la sua visione e il suo straordinario contributo ai rapporti tra le nostre Nazioni.
🇮🇹❤️🇯🇵
