Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso is scheduled to meet with President Barack Obama at the White House Tuesday, becoming the first foreign leader to visit the new U.S. president.

The U.S. and Japan are the world's two biggest economies. Mr. Aso says it is most important for both countries to have a common approach to the world financial problems.

The U.S. and Japanese leaders are also expected to talk about global warming, terrorism, and the kidnappings of Japanese citizens by North Korean spies in the 1970s and 1980s.

Mr. Aso and Mr. Obama are at opposite ends of opinion polls. More than 60 percent of those surveyed approve of the way President Obama is doing his job while a Japanese newspaper gives Prime Minister Aso an 11 percent approval rating.

Mr. Aso took office last September and has since struggled to gain approval for his more than $100 billion economic stimulus package.

Japan must hold parliamentary elections by the end of this September, and it is widely believed Mr. Aso's Liberal Democratic Party will lose its decades-long grip on parliament.
