On the 15-hour flight to Tokyo, Clinton made several trips to the back of the plane to speak with reporters. She said that the backdrop for the trip is the global economic crisis. Hours before Clinton's arrival, Japan announced that its gross domestic product had dropped at the annual pace of 12.7 percent, the steepest drop in 35 years. The secretary said that during her meetings with her foreign counterparts she would discuss the details of the U.S. stimulus package and see how "together we are going to approach these economic times."
