   Tokyo, Feb. 4 (Jiji Press)--Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba will visit the United States for three days from Thursday for a summit with U.S. President Donald Trump, Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said Tuesday.
   The two leaders are set to meet in Washington on Friday for their first in-person talks since Trump won the U.S. presidential election last November.
   "We want to build a strong relationship of trust and cooperation with the new U.S. administration and take the Japan-U.S. alliance to a higher level," Hayashi said at a press conference.
   Close attention is being paid to what positions Trump, who espouses an "America first" policy, will take on Japan regarding economic and security matters.
