U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his admiration for Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaiichi's coalition party after its significant victory in the recent general election, which he characterized as a "historical victory." In a post on social media platform Truth Social, Trump congratulated Takaiichi and his party for their overwhelming success, labeling the Prime Minister a highly respected and popular leader in Japan. Trump specifically commended Takaiichi's decision to call for early elections as a "bold and wise choice" that ultimately led to significant accomplishments.
