U.S. President Donald Trump is traveling to Tokyo for meetings with Emperor Naruhito and new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. The bilateral summit on Tuesday will focus on trade, investment, and defense spending. After a regional summit in Malaysia where he announced several deals with Southeast Asian nations, Trump heads to Japan for three days. Security has been heightened with 18,000 police officers mobilized due to recent high-profile attacks targeting political figures. While the upcoming summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in South Korea garners much attention, Trump's meeting with Takaichi will serve as a critical test of her diplomatic abilities.
