Japan's PM Ishiba faces vote to keep job ahead of Trump meet

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : Japanese government officials are trying to arrange a meeting for him with Trump toward the end of the trip, potentially during a stopover in the U.S. before Ishiba returns to Japan.
50% : The return of Trump as U.S. president also raises the stakes for Ishiba.
48% : Trump has also called for Japan to pay more for the U.S. military presence of around 55,000 troops, the largest permanent foreign deployment of American forces.
44% : Tamaki is using that leverage to press for his primary policy goal of raising the ceiling of tax-free incomes.
21% : In an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek in June, Trump spoke warmly about Abe but renewed his criticism of the yen's weakness against the dollar and the advantage it gives Japanese companies such as automakers.
