Why does the Bible say that women should not rule?
Do what's best for your economy Japan 😎
Oh Great. It means that she doesn't want her country to be a slave of big brother like her other counterparts in Urope. Respect to you. Stay non-aligned.
Every countries economics runs on cost ! Cheaper the better for gas , oils and raw materials . There than be competitiveness in end manufacturing of products for exports .
Who gives the United States the authority to impose unilateral sanctions on Iran or Russia ? A nation facing massive debt and struggling to sustain its own economic stability should not lecture sovereign countries. The world is changing, and nations today demand mutual respect rather than dominance.
The correct approach is to say yes, US sells the "same LNG at the SAME price, T&C's", otherwise, nope….
The US expecting other nations to destroy their economy at the their own expense…
How is Germany & EU fairing with NO ACCESS to cheap Russian Gas?
This is EVIL politics while citizens freeze…
From drummer of a band to prime minister 👍👍👍👍👍
Though it may take 10 years to complete, Russia has recently announced its gas pipeline project Power of Siberia 2. It will go through Mongolia, and it is expected to supply China with 50 billion cubic meters of gas per year. Japan knows, and the country has no interest in severing ties with Russia when some of that gas could make it to its people at a lower cost.
Asia should act united 🇷🇺🇮🇳🇨🇳🇯🇵
go japan trump has no balls all trump does is spew bullshit making america look more stupid than what they are— asians see the stupidity of america
I think I like this lady…perfect
Great work Japan
Nippon 🇯🇵🇷🇺
Question should be does US and Europe needs Russian energy source
If so then why preach
Hight of hippocracy
Look at what is happening in Germany. Japan does not want to be DE-INDUSTRIZED 😮
Trumps assumption of world as his work place is the issue. He need to be reminded that he is elected by Americans not the world altogether. Sovereign countries should make an effort to destroy Trump's ego so that it will be slippershot to others.
2026…2027…2028…EU will be buying oil and gas from Russia and fighting Russia…
Sheer arrogance to force a country not to buy some product from another country. Who the hell he is ? He should be slapped on live camera… Russia should declare war on USA for trump going to all countries like this & canvas doom for Russia!😮
Why Trump utters meaningless sentences? Noone can afford to trust him. Noone will trust him. Pathetic politician.
This Thug Is Destroying America and World, For his personal gains 😢😢
Да самурай нынче не тот 😂😂😂 если у них женщина оказалась мужественнее чем они 😂😂😂 посмотрим что дальше будет она недавно вступила на эту должность
This time testosterone didn't work for Mr Trumpet 🎺🎺🎺
US -‘forget we’ve invaded more countries and now want to attack Venezuela, suddenly we’re really ‘concerned’ about Russian ‘aggression’. Don’t buy their energy … buy ours but it’s more costly.’ 🤡
Fake News.
Wow.. India's way
America is doomed.
How come trade deal with Japanese investment in US is signed ?
It’s like a group of kindergarten bullies trying to get everyone not to befriend someone just because of their own personal conflict. So childish
Japan has to think what US has done to them the two nuclear bombs. They have killed lakhs of people in Japan and around world. She is the right person to stand against US and reject them.
There is only one stupid country foolish enough to pledge rm $ 1 trillion for usa.
❤😂Just for the record US import 27% uranium from Russia , Japan America is stupid 😮😮😮❤
The world needs to tell USA to provide free oil and gas – then they’ll stop all deals with Russia
Bravo Japan❤
Besides Japanese hate against US for what they did to their population, the natural rout is for them to buy the cheapest energy, which comes from Russia. Where's the western democratic open trade policy? The same can be said in the case of Europe, which extends "from Portugal to the Urals" (General De Gaule). The logical option.
The only way the EU can phase out Russian gas is by closing down energy intensive industries and computer server farms that require dispatchable power that renewables cannot provide. Russia currently supplies 20% of EU gas, Norway nearly half and Qatar 11%. But Qatar is threatening to cut off supplies over a new EU environmental law that jeopardizes their global business and can divert supplies to China and India whilst Norway is also waiting on a vote in Parliament to restrict supplies to the EU and UK due to the effect on domestic prices and if that happens the UK will cut supplies as well leaving the EU with a shortfall of of around half of their needs and this cannot be made up by the US even if the EU could afford the cost.
Japan has an edge it has highest Dollar funds if slight change in intrest rate can cause global crash
Wake up Russia. EU phase out slowly means they try to source other alternatives. You better chop that snake head off right now. Let them feel the pain immediately as winter is coming. This is chance to spat them a lesson. Stop sell to EU immediately else sorry to say, u r stupid
Your not be a leader of ur country if someone keep telling you what to do especially from outsiders
Trump should just tariff the world, and collect 100’s of trillions.
Dedollarization will solve the nose poking ability of US permanently 😂
She fell on trump .
❤❤❤
another brick in the wall.-
Takaichi will not bow down to Trump. He didn’t show any respect for the Japanese Flag. Just went past it as if he never saw it. The arrogant prick.
Every country must stop export and import with US,
Japan joined US sanctioned from the most beginning. I know that Russia's factories are no longer assemble Japanese cars any longer. It had certaine impact on the market which is filled right now with Chinese and Korean cars. Recently, Russia banned Japan from fishing in its territorial waters, and before that, the Japanese had been fishing in Russian waters. I'm still amazed at how kind Russia is to other countries. Also an American company (forgot the name) apparently leased land in southern Russia and grew wheat, rye, and other crops and then exported for sale.
Japan pm 🇯🇵🗾very correct decision betray u.s evil corruption.
