At the top of Friday’s NBC Today, co-host Matt Lauer touted an exclusive: “Caroline Kennedy speaks out in her first interview since stepping down as the U.S. Ambassador to Japan. This morning, her take on the Trump administration's very different approach to foreign policy and her own future. Is she planning a run for office?”

In the 7:30 a.m. ET half hour, Lauer began the friendly exchange by wondering if Defense Secretary James Mattis was currently visiting Japan in order to smooth things over after Donald Trump “said some things I know that raised a lot of eyebrows in Japan and the region” during the presidential campaign.
