Today, I had a productive call with Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama. Our conversation built on President Trump’s discussion with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi earlier this week and reflected the strength of the U.S.–Japan partnership.
We discussed the desirability of a strong yen that reflects Japan’s strong economic fundamentals, and the importance of staying in close communication on currency markets.
The U.S. is set for a major expansion of its military presence in Greenland under a new security agreement reached with Denmark and Greenland.
The deal gives Washington expanded long-term military access while barring Russia, China and other non-NATO countries from establishing bases or maintaining a military presence on the strategically vital Arctic island.
It stops short of transferring sovereignty over Greenland to the U.S., with Denmark saying the agreement preserves its territorial integrity and Greenlanders' right to self-determination. The agreement is expected to be signed next week and still requires parliamentary approval.

@factpostnews Give us another chance” is an interesting midterm pitch after nearly two years of unified control. Most administrations try to run on results by this point. Voters will decide whether the first two years earned the next two.
