Donald Trump on state visit to Japan which is said to be tailor-made to his whims, ego and includes golf and sumo
President Donald Trump and fist lady Melania Trump are greeted by Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs Taro Kono and his wife Kaori Kono after arriving at Haneda International Airport for a state visit, Saturday, May 25, 2019, in Tokyo.
"In the world of Donald Trump, terrible things can happen if you're an ally, but no major blows have landed on Japan," said Michael Green, senior vice president for Asia and Japan chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Trump arrived shortly after a relatively strong earthquake rattled Tokyo. Japan's Meteorological Agency said the quake, registering magnitude 5.1, struck in Chiba, just south of Tokyo about 40 kilometres underground. Trump was to arrive two hours later. The agency said there was no danger of a tsunami from the inland quake.
Trump plans to return to Japan for a summit of leading rich and developing nations in Osaka in late June. 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 US officials, including Trump, have tried to downplay despite an agreement by North Korea to hold off on further testing.
