Japan PM to Raise North Korean Abductions in Trump Summit
Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has announced plans to visit the U.S. from April 17-20 to discuss North Korea with President Donald Trump ahead of expected summits between the North and the United States and South Korea.
During a meeting of government officials and ruling camp lawmakers on Monday, Abe said he will visit Florida from April 17th to the 20th and during his stay will hold a two-day summit with Trump.
There are signs of a thaw on the peninsula, with global attention fixed on two closely related events - an inter-Korean leaders' summit scheduled for April 27, and a first-ever U.S.
Japan has said North Korea abducted at least 17 Japanese citizens in the 1970s and 1980s to train agents in Japanese language and culture to spy on South Korea.

Mariners hopeful C Mike Zunino not sidelined for long
Tyler Olson made history previous year by not allowing a run in what constituted his season - 20 innings in 30 appearances. The Seattle Mariners have placed catcher Mike Zunino on the 10-day disabled list with a strained left oblique.
"There's absolutely no need to rush things", the Japanese foreign minister said, adding that North Korea may take advantage of countries heeding invitations to send their leaders to Pyongyang for talks.
The April meeting comes ahead of a planned summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in May.
"I will request in person that President Trump raise the abduction issue, which is the most important question (for Japan), during an upcoming US-North Korean summit", he said.
In his meeting with Trump, Abe is also expected to urge the US leader to exempt Tokyo from Washington's stiff new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, according to a government source.
