Shigeru Ishiba, who served as Japan's Prime Minister from October 2024 to October 2025, shared insights from his interactions with US President Donald Trump. In a recent interview, he explained that even minor disagreements could lead to Trump becoming angry. Ishiba recounted his three meetings with Trump, emphasizing that statements like 'you’re wrong' could trigger a strong reaction, and advised that it is safer to agree with him. Ishiba's tenure was marked by challenges, including his resignation after election losses that stripped the Liberal Democratic Party of its legislative majority for the first time since 2009. His meetings with Trump included a bilateral summit at the White House on February 7, 2025, and a brief encounter during the G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Canada, on June 16, 2025.
