TOKYO -- One tumultuous week since Donald Trump entered the White House, 53% of respondents to a new Nikkei Inc. survey predict that Japan-U.S. relations will worsen during his presidency.
This was up 19 percentage points since the question was asked in November, not long after Trump won election. At the time, 46% of respondents said relations would remain unchanged -- a share that plunged to 31% in the latest survey. Those expecting bilateral ties to improve held steady at 6%.
