WASHINGTON (Kyodo) -- U.S. President Joe Biden is planning to host Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga at the White House as soon as April, the first in-person foreign leader visit of his presidency, online news outlet Axios reported Sunday.
The upcoming meeting, if realized, will provide a chance for the two countries to showcase their robust alliance amid China's increasing assertiveness in the Indo-Pacific region, including around the Japan-controlled Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea.
