Shinzo Abe Criticized Trump as Weak on North Korea

“In a posthumously published book, former Japanese leader Shinzo Abe said he pushed then-President Donald Trump to take a stronger stand on North Korea but found Mr. Trump weak and overly eager for a deal,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Mr. Abe said in the Japanese-language book, published this week, that he grew worried North Korea would learn of Mr. Trump’s dovish tendencies.”

Wrote Abe: “We absolutely couldn’t let the outside world catch wind of it.”
