Japan experienced a scare when Shinzo Abe was smoke bombed. Shinzo Abe is a Japanese politician who served as the Prime Minister of Japan twice, first from 2006 to 2007 and then from 2012 to 2020. He is a member of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and is known for his conservative policies, advocacy for constitutional reform, and his efforts to strengthen Japan's military capabilities.
During his first term as Prime Minister, Abe pursued an agenda focused on economic reform, including the implementation of a package of policies collectively known as "Abenomics," which aimed to revitalize the Japanese economy through monetary easing, fiscal stimulus, and structural reforms. In his second term, Abe focused on national security, seeking to strengthen Japan's alliance with the United States and increase Japan's defense capabilities in the face of regional security challenges, particularly from North Korea and China.
Abe resigned from office in September 2020 due to health reasons, ending his record-setting tenure as Japan's longest-serving prime minister.
