Tokyo, Oct. 27 (Jiji Press)–Japan’s Emperor Naruhito held a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump for the first time in about six and a half years at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo on Monday evening. The U.S. president arrived at the Imperial Palace in the presidential state car at around 6:30 p.m. The Emperor greeted him at the entrance with a smile and a handshake before they entered the palace. Trump met the Emperor for the second time. It was their first encounter since May 2019, when the president and First Lady Melania Trump visited Japan as the first state guests following the Emperor’s ascension to the throne. In November 2017, Trump met Emperor Emeritus Akihito, who was emperor at the time, and Empress Emerita Michiko. END [Copyright The Jiji Press, Ltd.]
