Akie Abe, the widow of slain former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, will meet U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, according to a CNN report.
She is expected to dine with Trump, who is set to begin his second term next month, and his wife, Melania, the report said. The former prime minister enjoyed a close relationship with Trump and was the first world leader to meet him as president-elect in 2016.
Following Abe’s assassination during an election campaign stump speech in July 2022, Trump called his widow to express his condolences, CNN said.
