Overnight attention shifted from Typhoon No.25's aftermath to New York, where Prime Minister Takaichi held 35-minute talks with President Trump at U.N. headquarters. Trump called Takaichi a great prime minister who would make history, while both confirmed alliance coordination on China and economic security two days before Xi's U.S. visit. Takaichi said she raised Japan's position on U.S. sanctions against the ICC leadership.
Takaichi then gave her first General Assembly address, pledging consistent support for the ICC without naming U.S. sanctions, calling for deletion of the Charter's former-enemy clause, Security Council reform, and energy cooperation, followed by a press conference presenting the trip as demonstrating alliance strength.
At home the typhoon toll rose to 10 dead and four missing in Chiba and Kanagawa, with levee breaches at Inbanuma and months-long suspensions on JR Uchibo and Sobu lines, as an ANA jet evacuated at Naha Airport without injuries.
