President Trump is in Japan for the first official state visit since Japanese Emperor Naruhito assumed the throne.

Emperor Naruhito and his Harvard-educated wife, Empress Masako, will host an imperial state banquet for Trump. The president's trip will also include a visit to a naval base and bilateral meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
