U.S. President Donald Trump is meeting with Japan's newly elected, ultraconservative leader in Tokyo during one of the busiest days of his Asia trip.

Just days after taking office, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi may look to build a personal connection with Trump to ease trade tensions. One key to this strategy might be an idea floated by Japan’s government to buy a fleet of American Ford F-150 trucks.

His itinerary for Tuesday also includes speaking to U.S. troops aboard an aircraft carrier and mingling with business leaders.

During his trip through Asia, Trump has focused mostly on discussing trade with world leaders, aiming to highlight America’s influence on the global economy.
