Asia Pacific leaders have moved to shore up ties with Donald Trump following his re-election as president of the United States, even as questions swirl about what his return to power will mean for regional security.
Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said that he was looking forward to working closely with the president-elect and to bring the Japan-US alliance and the Japan-US relations to a higher level.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese also turned to social media to say that Australia and the US were great friends and great allies going into the future, while Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto posted about the strong strategic partnership between Washington and Jakarta even as Chinese President Xi Jinping had positive words for Trump, despite the latter’s campaign promise of hitting China with punishing import tariffs over unfair business practices.
