President Donald Trump speaks in the Oval Office of the White House on Tuesday. The Japanese and U.S. governments are arranging for President Donald Trump to visit Japan for talks with the country's new prime minister, diplomatic sources said Thursday. At their planned summit, Trump and the new leader are expected to reaffirm the importance of the U.S.-Japan alliance as China and North Korea boost their military capabilities, threatening regional stability. After his stop to Japan, the U.S. president is expected to travel to South Korea, which will host a two-day Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit from Oct. 31. Trump previously visited Japan in 2019 during his first term as U.S. president for a Group of 20 summit in Osaka, western Japan.
