I wouldn't call this a success for 高市早苗. For one, 高市早苗 refused to send troops to help reopen the strait of hormuz when Trump needed it the most. I think in Trump's eyes, why should he help 高市早苗 if she cannot do this small favor (a very small endeavor, in Trump's words) in return? Secondly, Trump invoked Pearl harbor in front of 高市早苗. I can only imagine what the talk after that would be.
Trump is very nice to CCP, knowing 高市早苗 is pro-Putin. CCP is very lucky this time and avoided a potential challenge after CCP's mistake to postpone meeting with Trump. But CCP cannot count on luck every time. Next time, it will not be so lucky.
