US President Donald Trump arrived in Japan early on Sunday, November 4, on the first leg of a 13-day tour of Asia. Trump was expected to visit South Korea, China, Vietnam and the Philippines.
After his arrival, Trump spoke to US troops at the Yokota Air Base in Fussa where he said, “No dictator, no regime, no nation should ever underestimate American resolve.”
The comments come amid rising tensions between North Korea and its neighbors over that country’s efforts to develop nuclear weapons that can be mounted on intercontinental missiles. Trump then went on to meet with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
He also played golf with the prime minister and the Japanese professional golfer and world number 4, Hideki Matsuyama, as seen in this video. Credit: Donald Trump/US Defense Department via Storyful
