Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will treat U.S. President Donald Trump to an imperial banquet, front row seats at a sumo tournament and a trip to the country’s biggest warship on a state visit as Tokyo seeks to avoid a bust-up over trade

TOKYO - .

The U.S. leader will become the first foreign dignitary to be so honored since the monarch inherited the throne this month. Trump will also play golf with Abe and inspect Japan’s Kaga helicopter carrier. Abe has made forging close personal ties with Trump a top priority and the two have bonded on the links, over burgers and with frequent telephone calls and face-to-face meetings.

Designating Trump’s stay in Tokyo as an official state visit means that it is by definition supposed to be a success, said former diplomat Kunihiko Miyake, research director at the Canon Institute for Global Studies. Last Friday, Trump declared some imported vehicles and parts posed a national security threat but delayed a decision on imposing tariffs for as long as six months, allowing more time for trade talks with Japan and the European Union.“We are not in the 1980s or 1990s,” Miyake said, referring to the era of Japan’s “voluntary” restraints on auto exports to the United States. “It’s a non-starter.”

Is Fat Donnie participating?

They missed the shot where trump thought it was cereal and took a bite.

The japanese are brilliant negotiators. Others should take notice on how to work with trump.

If Abe came to the US , Trump would get him Big Mac, fries and a Coke....

Japan is a great nation and a great democratic force in Asia

Who's he up against in the ring.

Dare ga sore ni dōi shita no ka? Yarimasen

Trump eat sushi made from Akita's rice, and enjoy the taste of Japan with Osake Akita!

He loves the sucking up so that should work 🤣

This is just disgustingly obscene. I hate that he gets these “honors” because he’s such a lying crook . I want him to get humiliated not honored - it is all so fake !

Please enjoy Japan. We are very welcome.

Chddcchj

China tried to do the same, but a few months later, tariffs were imposed. Trump is emotional and unpredictable.

PM Abe must not be intimidated by this bully. Maybe he should throw Trump into the ring with one of the wrestlers.

I think Fat Nixon should belly-up and do some sumo.

He doesn’t have the energy to do all that and tweet. Please keep him busy.

Abe Shinzo -- Japan Shinzo

Don gonna wrestle?

川普只想讹钱!

Ugh

Taking notes, Xi?

Rare Earth supply will be high up in the agenda ... AusHCMalaysia

Yup world leaders are figuring out this ego maniac of a president.. stroke this clowns ego get what you want...

An imperial banquet is hardly going to impress that fool. Roll out the Big Macs.

Kiss his butt. Narcissists love that. The big baby.
