- 03:02How U.S. allies are preparing for Trump 2.0Reuters VideosSTORY: "2024 is our final battle." Former U.S. President Donald Trump could return to power in November elections. Everywhere, U.S. allies are preparing for such an event. From Japan lining up its Trump-whisperer, to Germany waging a charm offensive inside the Republican Party, nations are taking steps to defend or advance their interests. Reuters spoke to diplomats and government officials in five continents about preparations for Trump 2.0. Here's what we found. America's closest ally in Asia worries Trump may revive trade protectionism and demand more money for the upkeep of U.S. forces in Japan. That's according to government officials. The country is preparing to deploy Sunao Takao to bolster its diplomatic engagement with the Trump camp. In the past, the Harvard-educated interpreter helped former prime minister Shinzo Abe bond with Trump over games of golf. Japan's former prime minister Taro Aso also recently met Trump in New York. (Trump) “We got to know each other, we like each other, and we'll be talking about Japan and the United States right now, and lots of other things also. “ In Mexico, government officials have been meeting people close to Trump to discuss issues including migration and the trafficking of fentanyl into the U.S. Mexico could face more U.S. pressure on these issues under Trump. The former president has said he would order the Pentagon to attack cartel leadership and infrastructure. “Our border is an open and gushing wound." And in a sign of how much personal relationships matter under Trump, sources say Mexico's ruling party is considering alternative candidates to appoint as the next foreign minister depending on whether Trump wins or not. Germany has been building bridges with Trump's Republican base at a state level. Mindful that Trump threatened harsh tariffs on Germany's car industry back when he was in office, Berlin is using a transatlantic coordinator to ready for Trump 2.0. This coordinator – Michael Link – is leading what Berlin calls "bypass diplomacy", crisscrossing the union and targeting swing states where Germany invests heavily. And behind the scenes, Australia is trying to make a key defense deal from being unwound by Trump. That's according to one diplomatic source. Biden’s administration has agreed to help Australia develop a nuclear naval fleet by selling Canberra three to five attack submarines. Australia's U.S. ambassador, Kevin Rudd, is pushing Canberra to act fast on enacting defense legislation hoping it would make the sale harder for Trump to unpick, the source said. Australia’s embassy declined to comment, while Canberra did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Reuters could not determine Trump's view on the matter.7 hours ago

- 01:06Analyst: Trump 'lucky' contempt order not more severeReuters VideosSTORY: The former president is in court for the second day of his trial on charges he falsified business records to cover up a $130,000 payment before the 2016 election to buy port star Stormy Daniels' silence about a sexual encounter she says they had in 2006. Vida Johnson, an associate law professor at Georgetown University, said that Trump is likely the beneficiary of his wealth and power, and that a less privileged citizen could have already faced penalties as severe as imprisonment. Judge Juan Merchan is considering whether Trump should be punished for violating a gag order that prevents him from criticizing witnesses and others involved in the case. Prosecutors are asking Merchan to fine Trump for criticizing Stormy Daniels and his former lawyer Michael Cohen, both of whom are expected to testify. They also have highlighted Trump's claim last week that people were lying to get on the jury so they could convict him. Merchan could opt to fine Trump $1,000 for each of those violations, as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office has requested. Those fines, Georgetown Law’s Vida Johnson told Reuters, are relatively mild. “It is absolutely common in courthouses around the country for judges when they use their contempt power, to hold people in contempt of court and they face jail time,” she said. “It appears to me that Trump is the beneficiary of any politics that might be at play. And I think those politics are that he's a wealthy person with a lot of power, and that's why both the prosecutors haven't asked for more serious sanctions.” Justice Merchan said on Tuesday he would not immediately rule on the fine request, but he appeared unmoved by Trump defense lawyer Todd Blanche's arguments that Trump was responding to political attacks, not intimidating witnesses. "You've presented nothing," Merchan said. "I've asked you eight, or nine times, show me the exact post he was responding to. You've not even been able to do that once." "I have to tell you right now, you're losing all credibility with the court," the judge added. After the session, Trump repeated his claim that the gag order violated his constitutional free speech rights, calling the proceedings a “kangaroo court”. On Tuesday, the first trial witness, former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, testified that he used his supermarket tabloid to suppress stories that might have hurt Trump's 2016 presidential bid.18 hours ago
- 00:44Trump hosts former Japan PM Aso in New YorkReuters VideosSTORY: During the reception, Trump sent a message to the people of Japan, saying that their country was "doing very well" and that he missed Shinzo Abo, the former prime minister who was assassinated in 2022. Japan has been trying to connect with people close to Trump ahead of the U.S. election on November 5, reflecting concerns that if he wins, the former president could reinstate protectionist trade measures or take other steps that could hurt the Japanese economy or affect the strong defence ties with the United States. The Trump-Aso meeting came two weeks after U.S. President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida unveiled plans for military cooperation and a series of projects to strengthen the U.S.-Japan alliance. The meeting was the latest effort by a foreign country to strengthen ties with Trump, with polls suggesting he and Biden are in a tight race. Aso, 83, is a former prime minister who currently serves as vice president of the Liberal Democratic Party. He served as deputy prime minister under the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who forged a close relationship with Trump during his presidency, and has decades of experience shaping US-Japan relations.22 hours ago

- 01:43Trump poised to clinch $1.3 billion stock awardReuters VideosSTORY: Donald Trump’s legal fees may be rising, but so is his personal wealth. The former president on Tuesday was set to secure a stock bonus worth $1.3 billion, thanks to Trump Media & Technology Group, which operates his social media app Truth Social. The award would take Trump’s overall stake in the company to $4.1 billion. While Trump has agreed not to sell any of his shares before September, the windfall represents a significant boost to his wealth, which Forbes pegs at $4.7 billion. The bonus reflects the exuberant trading in Trump Media’s shares, which have been on a roller coaster ride since the company listed on the Nasdaq last month through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC. Many shares were snapped up by speculators and those supporting the Republican's 2024 presidential bid against Democrat Joe Biden. Under the terms of the deal, Trump is entitled to the stock bonus if the share price stays above $17.50 for 20 trading days after the company's debut. The stock ended Monday’s session at slightly more than double that price, making it likely that Trump will secure the bonus at Tuesday’s market close. LSEG data shows that Trump Media, which disclosed millions of dollars in losses earlier this month, has the highest valuation multiple compared to U.S. companies with a similar market cap. The high valuation also comes despite the company warning investors in regulatory filings that its operational losses raise "substantial doubt" about its ability to remain in business.1 day ago
