President Donald Trump vows to make the US trade relationship with Japan a 'little bit more fair', as he kicked off a four-day visit to Tokyo aimed at cementing ties between the two close allies.

President Donald Trump walks with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe before playing a round of golf at Mobara Country Club, in Chiba, Japan.

“Japan has had a substantial edge for many, many years. But that’s OK, maybe that’s why you like us so much,” Trump told leaders from some of Japan’s leading companies, including Toyota, Honda and Nissan. Some observers suspect Abe is rolling out the red carpet to present Japan as the most favourable of the countries currently engaged in trade disputes with Washington but little concrete progress is expected with elections looming for the Japanese PM.

But the visual highlight is more likely to be Trump’s visit on Sunday to the final day of the summer “basho” or sumo tournament where he is expected to present the trophy to the winner. The relationship between the former war-time foes “has never been stronger, has never been more powerful, has never been closer,” Trump said.
