Off N. Korea (for now).
The White House is out with some VP Pence goals as he tours countries in the Far East.
- Pence/Japan Deputy PM Aso expected to agree to framework for further economic talks
- Talks with Japan aim to boost US exports, attract Japanese investment in US infrastructure
- Pence and Aso not expected to discuss trade irritants in detail
- Regarding trip to Australia, expect a handful of investment announcements while in Sydney this weekend.
No saber rattling on N.Korea.
