Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe has sought to keep Donald Trump close, even though the results have been mixed
To that end, the Japanese flew in the entertainer Pikotaro, a favorite of Trump granddaughter Arabella Kushner, to a 2017 celebration held at the country’s Washington embassy attended by Ivanka Trump and two of her children, including Arabella. When Pikotaro—most famous for a 45-second long pop hit—couldn’t make it, he recorded a personalized video message for Ivanka Trump and Arabella instead.
Abe’s model of personal diplomacy reflects the approach of other leaders from Asia to the Middle East to Europe who have wooed Trump with deeply personal approach to diplomacy that has redefined statecraft in the Trump era, in which personal relationships and extravagant flattery are stand-ins for strategic arguments about national interest.
The question is what the Japanese have gotten for their labors. Abe’s critics have mocked him for obsequious behavior that’s had little payoff, as when Trump refused to exempt Japan from the steel and aluminum tariffs he slapped on several nations last March. Nor were Abe and his compatriots thrilled by Trump’s diplomatic about-face on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, whom the president went from deriding as “Little Rocket Men” to praising as “very sharp” leader.
