President Joe Biden hosted Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga on Friday as the first foreign leader to visit his White House, underscoring Tokyo's central role in U.S. efforts to counter China's growing assertiveness. Mr. Biden welcomed Mr. Suga for a one-day summit that offered the Democratic president a chance to work further on his pledge torevitalize U.S. alliances that frayed under his Republican predecessor, former President Donald Trump. "Our cooperation is vital ... to meeting the challenges facing our nations and ensuring the future of the region will remain free and open,” Mr. Biden said as he sat down with Mr. Suga. The two countries, he added, have a "big agenda ahead of us."More Related News
