The legacies of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced Friday that he is resigning because of a chronic health problem. A political veteran, he held the post longer than anyone else. Abe cultivated a friendly relationship with President Trump that some experts say strengthened the two countries’ alliance. He also tried to reinvigorate Japan’s economy and rebuild its military.
