Trump Opens a Three-Day Visit to Japan with a Call on Emperor Naruhito at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo
On October 27, 2025, President Donald Trump arrived in Tokyo, the capital of Japan, to open a three-day official visit, and that evening called on Emperor Naruhito at the Imperial Palace. Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs had announced that Trump would pay an official visit to Japan from October 27 to 29, during which he would make a state call on the Emperor and hold a summit meeting with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.
According to the Associated Press, Air Force One landed at Tokyo's Haneda Airport that afternoon and Trump then flew by helicopter to the Imperial Palace, where Naruhito welcomed him; the two spoke for about 30 minutes. After the meeting, Trump told reporters the Emperor was "a great man." It was their first meeting in six years: in 2019, shortly after Naruhito ascended the throne, Trump became the first foreign dignitary invited to the palace to meet him.
Tokyo was the second stop on Trump's Asia tour, after Malaysia. On the following day he was scheduled to hold summit talks with Takaichi, with the U.S.-Japan alliance, defense cooperation and trade and investment on the agenda. (Source: Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan)
