‘WOW!’: Trump Left Amused as Japan’s PM Smoothly Dodges Tariff Question in White House Exchange

During a White House meeting, U.S. President Donald Trump was left amused and impressed when Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba skillfully dodged a question on whether Japan would retaliate against U.S. tariffs.

Instead of answering directly, Ishiba dismissed the query as hypothetical, prompting Trump to laugh and exclaim, "Wow!

That’s a very good answer!" The lighthearted moment stole the spotlight from the high-stakes discussions on trade and China’s regional influence.

While Japan has avoided U.S. tariffs for now, both leaders pledged to strengthen bilateral ties and stand against China’s aggressive actions in the South China Sea.
