Naruhito will welcome Trump to the Imperial Palace on Monday for a meeting and banquet in his honor.
It's all part of a kindness campaign aimed at encouraging Trump to alleviate trade pressures, said Riley Walters, a policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation's Asian Studies Center, who said the personal relationship between Trump and Abe is probably the best of any two world leaders. Behind the smiles and personal friendship, however, lurks deep uneasiness over Trump's threat to impose tariffs on Japanese autos and auto parts on national security grounds, a move that would be far more devastating to the Japanese economy than earlier tariffs on steel and aluminum.
Also at issue is the lingering threat of North Korea, which has resumed missile testing and recently fired a series of short-range projectiles that U.S. officials, including Trump, have tried to downplay despite an agreement by North Korea to hold off on further testing. With Trump's relations with the leaders of the U.K., Germany, Canada and other allies strained, Abe has worked more than any other leader to try to keep Trump engaged with international institutions, Green said, adding that it is critical for Japan's survival.
On the weekend we celebrate our service heroes here in the USA he’s in Japan playing golf? What am I missing ?
Did they have a diaper to fit him?
These agenda give him a large audience which who wouldn’t get at other venues!
anything trump is just annoying! he take more vacation then bush did!
If Trump Sumo wrestles, he'll figure some way to cheat, like he does at golf and everything else.
chump proclaims he would have been a Yokozuna
I find it interesting that donald is out of the country for Memorial Day! Most presidents are keenly aware of this day!
Did Trump invite them to the White House for some White Castle?
I’m guessing with his BMI he’s going to compete?
Sumo wrestlers live to push their body and mind to the limit. DJT, not so much.
He might make the wrestlers look small! Abe, he cheats at golf!
Will a Sumo sit on realDonaldTrump
Hey that’s him on the right without the orange wig. A a visit to a KFC in Tokyo.
This trip is basically “Hey America, watch how much money I’m going to waste! HA HA!”
You say one more thing about my mother, and I'm going to whip your butt...
He can't go with golfing.
OMG! What a bias headline. Pretty sure they are going to talk global issues.
Has to play golf as he tries to destroy our Republic and democracy and replace it with an autocratic President!
America loves President Trump!❤️🇺🇸
Tv, golf, cheat is what trump will be doing in Japan.
They are OBLIGATED to share cultural experiences.
is is weird that our president is out of the country on Memorial Day?
Thank you realDonaldTrump You are holding up well in the face of all the Presidential ugly harassment..... I Thank you for you're unwavering service to our Great Nation. God Bless the United States 🇺🇸
Only of he can get taken out while over there! That would truly Make America Great Again!!!
I’ve just been reading all the idiots who just do exactly as nbc wanted them to do. You didn’t read the article, you don’t know how to think for yourselves. Japan, while Trump is there on business, wants to show him a good time. That’s their culture. God, you people are dumb.
The Japanese play golf with honor (like most people). Please don’t cheat. I know that’s asking a lot.
Isn’t Trump is too fat to be a Sumo wrestler?
Well, he is big enough to be a sumo wrestler....
He should wrestle. He's built like them
No one wants to watch him sumo wrestle! Ewww!!!
Bet Ivanka has the Chinese trademarks for all their gear.
Lol
Have some fun prez
Good for POTUS! I hope he gets some down time Of course we know he always has what’s best for America on his mind and makes deals on the golf course or where’ve else he is Best POTUS ever!
Is he joining the team
243 lbs my ass
In ancient Japan, farting contests were held to celebrate special occasions. Bring them back for Trump. He loves hot air and already stinks anyway.
Snarky NBC as always
Love that man. ❤️ Hope he has a nice visit, and enjoys his time in Japan. 🇺🇸
Figures.
Of course no work what so ever. He is the ABSOLUTE WORST, ILLEGITIMATE PRESIDENT EVER!!!!!
NOW IS THE TIME!!! BUILD THE WALL SO HE CAN’T COME BACK INTO THE US of A
Golf? Again?! Hypocrisy!!!!!!!
The jokes just write themselves.
Such a hard working man.
Can u see is orange ass doing this
But no snide remarks by NBC you sleeping guys I thought it was anti Trump all of the time
Well, he's about the right size for sumo.
😩 夫婦そろって品が無さ過ぎて不快
Anything else?
Taking a dump in front of all those people is just plain wrong. And a double dump too.
Any skating involved ?
Trump Going To Sumo Wrestling.. He's Doing Scouting For The WWF-2.0..
Is he on the right or left? His hair looks better.
Of course, Trump hasn't worked legitimately a day in his life.
He is being entertained on the taxpayers dime and will have nothing of substance to contribute. Waste of time, money, resources and AIR!!
Let's see if he cheats in the wrestling match too
Which one is he in the photo?
It’s good he’ll have some time for golf. Destroying our country bit by bit really has to take its toll on him over time.
He looks so different
realDonaldTrump is going to wrestle.
He's put on a few more pounds, whereas Melanie looks trim.
Ah, good ole flame bait from a once prominent news agency.... do you guys actually have the itinerary for proof? Or is bias all u need these days to write something?
Japan -Please Remember - MOST OF The People Of America Voted For Someone Else And Not This Criminal Who Along With Russian, and the Corrupt GOP, Stole The Country.
