US President Donald Trump did not ask Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to strongly consider Las Vegas Sands for a casino licence, a top Japanese government aide told the Japan Times.

ProPublica cited anonymous sources in the story that suggested Trump was pushing for LVS. Abe previously denied the report in the Japanese Diet as well.

LVS is run by Sheldon Adelson, who has long donated to the Republican party.
