US President Donald Trump has arrived in Japan, marking the second stop of his six-day Asia tour. During his three-day visit, Trump will meet with Emperor Naruhito and hold talks with Japan’s new Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, who is the country’s first female leader. The visit is expected to focus on strengthening economic and defense ties between the two nations.
Trump has expressed his desire for Japan to import more American products, including rice, cars, and pickup trucks, specifically the Ford F-150, which he described as a “hot truck”. The two leaders are also expected to discuss Japan’s defense spending, with Trump urging Tokyo to contribute more to regional security. Additionally, Trump will sign deals on critical minerals and shipbuilding, further solidifying the US-Japan alliance.
