Trump Congratulates Japan

President Donald Trump on Sunday congratulated Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi following her coalition’s sweeping victory in a closely watched national election, calling the outcome a major milestone for conservative leadership in Japan.

Posting on Truth Social, Trump praised Takaichi as a respected and popular leader, noting that her party secured a commanding two-thirds supermajority in the legislature—an achievement not seen in Japan since the period following World War II.

Trump emphasized that Takaichi’s decision to call an election proved to be a decisive move, one that clearly resonated with voters across the country. He credited strong public enthusiasm and high engagement at the ballot box as key factors behind the historic result.

The former president also highlighted his endorsement of Takaichi and her coalition, expressing confidence in her ability to advance a governing agenda centered on conservative principles and national strength. He specifically pointed to a “peace through strength” approach as critical to maintaining stability and security in the region.

Trump concluded by reaffirming his support for the Japanese people, praising their participation in the democratic process and voicing optimism about the country’s future under its newly empowered government.
