WASHINGTON -- Japanese national security adviser Masataka Okano met with American counterpart Mike Waltz at the White House on Monday to coordinate policies between the two key allies.
This marked the third meeting in three months between the two officials. They first met in Florida back in mid-January while Waltz was still a congressman, days before the inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump. They also met when Trump greeted Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba at the White House in early February.
