"The Secretary of Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce are both people that I know and have spoken with and are brilliant in their fields and are also very creative out-of-the-box thinkers. And when I saw that President Trump then decided he was going to get involved and has now named this his top priority - that’s why I have a lot of confidence that we’ll get something done."

"But you also have to look at the safety of Americans, American interests, American companies. We have to take into account the safety of Japanese citizens, how we’re working together with our military and how we’re pushing back and making sure that our military has all of the issues taken care of and all the materials that they need to be able to successfully push back against a country like China."

STORYLINE:
The newly appointed U.S. Ambassador to Japan arrived in Tokyo Friday, saying he is confident that ongoing trade talks between the two countries would yield results, citing direct involvement from President Donald Trump.
Speaking at his first press conference in Japan shortly after his arrival in the country, George Glass said negotiations over tariffs were being prioritized at the highest levels of the U.S. government.
Glass, a businessperson and former ambassador to Portugal, was confirmed by the Senate earlier this month and is expected to play a key role in strengthening the U.S.-Japan alliance during shifting regional dynamics.

Glass framed the U.S.-Japan relationship as a cornerstone of regional peace and economic growth.
