Screw-ups mark Trump foreign-leader meet
One
day before U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's first meeting with a
foreign leader, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Japanese officials
said they had not finalized when or where in New York it would take
place, who would be invited, or in some cases whom to call for answers.
Uncertainty over the talks shows the difficulties in turning Trump from a
freewheeling businessman into a sitting president with a watertight
schedule and a fully functioning administration by his inauguration on
Jan. 20. Japanese and U.S. officials said on Wednesday the State
Department had not been involved in planning the meeting, leaving the
logistical and protocol details that normally would be settled far in
advance still to be determined. The meeting was only agreed to last week
and Trump and his advisers have been busy in meetings at his
headquarters in Manhattan's Trump Tower in recent days to work out who
gets which job in the new administration.
