The meeting was reportedly organised at the last minute after Abe called Trump to congratulate him, and mentioned that he would be passing through New York on his way to an Asia-Pacific trade summit in Peru.
Mkutano huo uliripotiwa kuandaliwa dakika za mwisho baada ya Abe kumpigia simu Trump kumpongeza, na kutaja kwamba atakuwa akipitia New York akielekea kwenye mkutano wa kilele wa biashara wa Asia na Pasifiki nchini Peru.
