Explore the Osaka Expo, Japan's Economy, and the Legacy of Norm Mineta

He also recounts meetings with current and former Japanese officials, highlighting Japan’s role in world affairs.

The conversation shifts to the legacy of Norm Mineta, the first Asian-American mayor of a major U.S. city, who later served as Commerce Secretary under President Clinton and Transportation Secretary under President George W. Bush during the 9/11 attacks. Mineta’s personal history—having been held in a Japanese internment camp during World War II—sparks a powerful discussion about the detainment of Japanese Americans during that time.

Trent and Kirk also dive into pressing issues of world economics, trade relations between the U.S. and Japan, and the myths surrounding Japan’s so-called “no inflation” economy. Together, they expose the reality of stagnant growth and the global impact of Japan’s financial challenges.
