Reporter: Mr. Trump has declared victory. Please share with us your views on this.
Mr. IWAYA Takeshi, Minister for Foreign Affairs: I watched former President Trump’s victory declaration and speech on television. However, since the overall vote counting process is still ongoing, I believe the results will be finalized soon. In any case, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will make efforts to ensure that Prime Minister Ishiba can communicate with the new President of the U.S. as soon as possible.
