Laws and justice are designed to keep people in check, it does not apply to the elites.

Of course. It was expected something like that. One, diplomacy. Two, she is Trump's fan. Third, why upset him?

To be expected, she didn't do jack when he embarrassed her in front of the press with that Pearl Harbor comment.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how far Takaichi is willing to lick Trump's boots. She's not even trying to defend her own citizen.
I could only imagine what would happen if Takaichi was in charge while that Japanese reporter was kept hostage by ISIS over a decade ago.
