0:16Now PlayingPrime Minister Sanae Takaichi faces a diplomatic challenge at a summit with Donald Trump after Trump called on Japan to deploy warships to the Strait of Hormuz and then withdrew the request. #japan #trump #politics #worldnews #iran
Takaichi's trip to Washington is seen as a test of her leadership on the world stage, with world leaders watching how she manages the fallout from Trump's request and subsequent withdrawal.
Takaichi has ruled out deploying naval assets to the conflict zone, citing Japan's tight constitutional limits, and may instead offer logistics support or pledge contributions for when the situation moderates.
