President Trump is in Japan to meet with Prime Minister Abe and newly crowned Emperor Naruhito, attend a sumo wrestling match and have an imperial dinner banquet, as trade tensions loom in the background.
Tokyo President Donald Trump arrived in Japan on Saturday eager for a visit salted with flattery and pomp — particularly as he escapes a hostile political environment back home.
The President and first lady Melania Trump landed in Tokyo ahead of a largely ceremonial visit to recognize the country's new emperor. Later they attended a dinner with Japanese business leaders meant to promote investment in the United States -- fueled along, Trump hopes, by a new trade agreement that reduces the $68 billion trade deficit with Japan."Japan has had a substantial edge for many, many years but that's OK," Trump said during short remarks.
