Japanese media extensively covered the summit between Prime Minister Takaichi and US President Trump throughout the day. Early reports focused on the commencement of their talks and Takaichi's expression of a desire to create a "new golden age" for the Japan-US alliance. This sentiment was echoed in later coverage, with both leaders touting the strengthened alliance. Separately, news outlets reported on the Abe shooting suspect, Yamagami, pleading guilty to murder in the morning, with prosecutors highlighting a "strong resentment" as a motive. By midday, Takaichi and Trump were reported to have boarded a US aircraft carrier, underscoring a commitment to bolstering Japan's defense capabilities. The Takaichi administration also saw high approval ratings, and Japanese companies expressed interest in substantial investments in US AI and power infrastructure.
