Trump congratulates Japan's Takaichi on election win

US President Donald Trump ​on Sunday congratulated Japanese Prime ‌Minister Sanae Takaichi ⁠on her coalition's ‌election win, wishing her "great success in passing your Conservative, Peace Through Strength Agenda" ​in a social media post.

Takaichi, Japan's first female leader, swept to a ‌historic election ‌win on Sunday, paving the way ⁠for promised tax cuts that have spooked financial markets and military ⁠spending aimed at ⁠countering China.

Trump on Sunday ‌wrote that ‌it was "my honor to endorse you." He endorsed Takaichi on ‍Friday.

"She is a highly respected and very popular leader," Trump wrote. "Sanae’s bold and wise decision to call for an election paid off big time."
