President Trump is beginning his remarks to hundreds of American troops at the U.S.S. George Washington, an aircraft carrier docked at the Yokosuka Naval Base south of Tokyo. He walked out to “God Bless the USA,” and the crowd began chanting “U-S-A” as he began speaking. Prime Minister​ Sanae Takaichi of Japan is also there.

"In such a short period of time the world started to enjoy more peace," Japanese Prime Minsiter Sanae Takaichi said.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump appears to have picked up another Nobel Peace Prize nomination — this time from the new Japanese prime minister, Sanae Takaichi. She told him during a meeting in Tokyo that she plans to put his name forward for the distinguished award.

A man accused of fatally shooting former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe admitted to murder on Tuesday in the first hearing of the case, media said, three years after the assassination of Japan's longest-serving premier stunned the nation.

Trump, who is a fan of the Ford F-150, has responded positively to the possibility that the Japanese government is considering buying dozens of the pickups. Trump has complained that there are hardly any American cars in Japan and that the country's vehicle safety standards are too strict.
