Trump Visits Japan, Trade Deal Nears

Fresh off a regional summit in Malaysia, U.S. President Donald Trump arrived in Japan on Monday to meet new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi for the first time. Takaichi, a protege of the late Shinzo Abe—who bonded with Trump over golf—figures in a visit centered on trade and his 'America first' economic push. Officials from the U.S. and China said Sunday a U.S.-China trade deal is edging closer after they reached an initial consensus, setting the stage for Trump and Xi Jinping to aim to finalize it during their high-stakes meeting.
