President Donald Trump received a royal welcome in Tokyo, meeting Emperor Naruhito after a nighttime helicopter tour, as his five-day Asia trip gathered pace. He touted deals with four Southeast Asian countries, a $550bn investment pledge from Tokyo tied to tariff relief, and is expected to meet Xi Jinping in South Korea. Japan’s new prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, plans purchases of U.S. goods and shipbuilding cooperation, sources said. Separately, Washington and Beijing agreed a trade framework including TikTok terms, and Trump oversaw a Thai-Cambodian ceasefire signing at the ASEAN summit.
