Trump's visit to Asia is packed with action. He's been shaking hands, talking trade, and even dancing a bit. Let's break it down.
First off, Trump met with Japan's Emperor Naruhito. He was extra gentle this time, no strong handshakes. He called the Emperor a "great man! " twice. This was their second meeting, and it seemed quite friendly.
Trade talks are a big deal on this trip. Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are set to meet soon. There's hope they might strike a deal to ease tensions. Markets are reacting positively to this news, with Asian shares surging.
But it's not all smooth sailing. Trump has been putting pressure on Republican governors to redraw congressional boundaries. This is part of a bigger fight over control in the House. Meanwhile, voters are frustrated about rising health insurance costs, and Republicans aren't offering many solutions.
There's also been some drama with Canada. Trump ended trade talks because of a TV ad criticizing his tariffs. He's not planning to meet with the Canadian Prime Minister anytime soon.
On the lighter side, Trump danced with Malaysian performers and talked about renovations at the Kennedy Center. He also praised some of his administration members, like Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance.
Security in Tokyo was tight during Trump's visit. Police were out in force, and even lockers at the airport were closed. One man was arrested for carrying knives near the U. S. Embassy.
All in all, it's been a busy trip with lots of different things happening. Only time will tell how these events will play out.
