MANCHESTER, United States, Aug 29, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – US President Donald
Trump on Friday paid his “highest respect” to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo
Abe and voiced concern over his “great friend” resigning for health reasons.

“I want to pay my highest respect to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, a very
great friend of mine,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he
returned from a campaign rally in New Hampshire.

“We’ve had a great relationship and I just feel very badly about it,
because it must be very severe for him to leave.”
