19.03.2026 ⇢ The Day Takaichi Landed in Washington
⌨

Japanese media editors focused on Prime Minister Takaichi's arrival in Washington for summit talks with President Trump, with coverage intensifying throughout the day as she prepared for the meeting scheduled for early morning Japan time on March 20. Multiple outlets reported the agenda centered on Iran crisis response, particularly regarding Strait of Hormuz security and potential Self-Defense Force deployment, with Trump reportedly pressuring Japan for greater alignment. Simultaneously, editors reported on immediate economic fallout from Middle East tensions, with triple declines in stocks, currency, and bonds as oil prices surged and the yen weakened toward 160 per dollar. The Bank of Japan maintained interest rates amid geopolitical uncertainties, while Japan joined five European nations in condemning Iran's Strait of Hormuz blockade.
