Japan Today notes this little piece of fun by the White House, at Japan's expense. Shinzo Abe is the leader of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party, and widely expected to be the next prime minister:
Liberal Democratic Party Acting Secretary General Shinzo Abe was served beef and asked by a senior U.S. official if he enjoyed it at a White House luncheon on Wednesday.At least this sort of diplomacy can't be called "ham-fisted."
Abe was attending a lunch hosted by Vice President Dick Cheney's Chief of Staff Lewis Libby when the conversation turned to Japan's 17-month-old import ban on U.S. beef.
