According to a reference to the Japanese newspaper “朝日新聞” on October 23, Japan’s Cabinet Chief of Staff, Mr.木原, announced at a press conference on October 22, that U.S. President Donald Trump will visit Japan from 27 to 29 this month.
According to Japan-US relations sources, Trump plans to visit Yokosuka base of the US Navy with sanae takaichi and board the USS George Washington nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. The specific details are still being coordinated.
Trump's first meeting with Gao Shi is expected to take place on the 28th. Sources revealed that U.S. Secretary of State Rubio, Treasury Secretary Bessant, and Defense Secretary Hagerseth will also accompany Trump to visit Japan.
Previously, according to media reports such as the Japan Times News Agency, US President Donald Trump confirmed on the 20th that he plans to visit Japan soon.
Trump told reporters that day, "I will go to Malaysia, Japan, and a few other countries," the news agency said that Trump is expected to first go to Malaysia to participate in ASEAN activities, followed by a three-day visit to Japan, and he will also go to South Korea.
According to a previous report by Agence France-Presse, US Treasury Secretary Bescent said on the 15th that Trump will visit Japan later in October and then go to South Korea. Bescent did not disclose the specific date of Trump's visit at that time.
According to the Chinese news network on the 22nd, Reuters quoted informed sources as saying that after Japan's new prime minister, Shinzo Abe, took office, his government was finalising a procurement plan to be submitted next week at a meeting with U.S. President Trump.
According to the report, the plan includes purchasing American pickup trucks, soybeans and natural gas to show goodwill to the Trump administration. According to sources, sanae takaichi will not commit to any new defense spending targets during this meeting.
Trump plans to visit Japan at the end of October, which will be the first major summit meeting Takashi Saami faces since he became prime minister. How to deal with issues such as Trump and the tariff policy behind him will be the first test of his political ability and diplomatic skills. Analysts believe that if this meeting is successful, it will help consolidate its initial ruling foundation and win US support for promoting regional security policies in the future. Regarding procurement plans and investment matters, a Japanese government spokesman responded that "it is too early to comment." The White House had no comment.
