Oct. 27 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump landed in Tokyo Monday morning as part of a three-nation Asia trip, meeting with Emperor Naruhito and new Prime Minister Sanae Takaishi
Trump and Naruhito met Monday morning at the emperor's home, then retired to his hotel room. He has no more public events scheduled for the day.
The visit was Trump's first trip to Japan since 2019. His goal for the trip is to reaffirm ties with Japan and encourage Japanese companies to invest in the United States.
He is scheduled to meet on Tuesday with Takaishi, who became Japan's first woman prime minister just last week. Trump and Takaishi spoke on the phone Saturday. Trump praised Takaishi to reporters for being "philosophically close" to former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
