17:46Now PlayingPresident Trump will host Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi for a White House dinner Thursday evening.
The event comes after the world leaders held a bilateral meeting in the afternoon, when Trump ribbed Japan over its bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941.
The president endorsed Takaichi, a staunch conservative, ahead of last month's election. Japan’s first female prime minister worked to dissolve the country’s lower house of Parliament during her campaign, which gave her Liberal Democratic Party an edge ahead of the Feb. 8 contests.
The duo also met in Japan in October as part of Trump's trip to Asia.
Thursday's meeting came as the Trump administration pressures allies to assist with securing the Strait of Hormuz and the movement of oil amid the ongoing conflict in Iran.
The event is scheduled to begin at 7:15 p.m. EDT.
