上月，日本首相高市早苗在与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普会面时，请求特朗普在美朝首脑会谈得以举行的情况下，促使朝鲜领导人金正恩接受与日本的首脑会谈。
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi asked U.S. President Donald Trump during their meeting last month to encourage North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to accept a summit with Japan if a U.S.-North Korea summit is realized.
这一消息是于周二由曾负责处理朝鲜绑架日本人问题的前大臣加藤胜信透露的。
当天，高市早苗在首相官邸会见了被朝鲜绑架者家属，并向他们介绍了自己9月份与特朗普会面的情况。
This was revealed Tuesday by Katsunobu Kato, a former minister in charge of the issue of Japanese citizens abducted by North Korea decades ago, after Takaichi met with the abductees’ families at the prime minister’s office on the day and briefed them about her September meeting with Trump.
据加藤胜信介绍，高市早苗向特朗普表达了期望，希望总统能在双方可能举行的会谈中敦促金正恩与日本领导人会晤。目前尚不清楚特朗普对此作出了何种回应。
According to Kato, Takaichi told Trump of her hope that the president would urge Kim at their possible summit to meet with the Japanese leader. It is not known how Trump responded.
