Akie Abe has returned to Japan. She posted a message explaining why she went to the U.S. to meet Trump. She said: I have returned to Japan. After Trump was elected, I realized that I would not be able to see him often after he took office as president, so I asked him if I could meet him to say a few words of thanks and congratulations. He arranged to invite me to the United States and set up a reception dinner for me.
