World leaders congratulated Donald Trump on his presidential election victory over Hillary Clinton. Many also have voiced a willingness to meet with the president-elect to begin talks on beginning a new phase in relations with the U.S. Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary, Yoshihide Suga, said Thursday that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will meet with Trump next week in New York City. It will be Trump’s first meeting with a foreign leader since he won Tuesday’s presidential election. Suga said the two spoke by telephone following Trump's victory. Trump and Abe said they remain committed to continue U.S.-Japan cooperation on Asia-Pacific security, he added. Trump often said during his campaign that Japan and other allies should be required to pay more of the costs to keep U.S. forces in their countries.
