President Donald Trump arrived in Japan on Monday as new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, the country's first female leader, moves to cool tariff-strained trade ties by building personal rapport. Tokyo is considering symbolic buys — most notably Ford F-150s for government use — despite worries the pickups would clog Japan's narrow streets, and is mapping a pledged $550 billion in U.S. investments for chips and energy. The charm offensive precedes Trump's meeting with China's Xi Jinping in South Korea. Trump will see Emperor Naruhito, meet Takaichi, speak aboard the USS George Washington, and dine with business leaders.
