President Donald Trump uses backdrop of US naval ship in Japan to tout America's 'fearsome' power in the Pacific
US President Donald Trump speaks during a Memorial Day event aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp in Yokosuka on May 28, 2019.
The US military has no intention of losing its paramount status in the world, Trump said, insisting it will "forever remain second to none". Abe talked about the "increasingly severe security environment" in the region and confirmed that the Kaga was being converted to take not only helicopters but also fighter planes.
But the main goal was to celebrate the countries' alliance and, from Japan's point of view, to charm Trump ahead of tricky negotiations on the muscular US demand for more market access. Other world leaders will have to wait until larger-scale celebrations in October. The Trumps went to see Naruhito at his palace Monday morning and then again in the evening for a banquet featuring six courses, including Trump's favourite – beef – and a dessert described as Glace Mont Fuji.
