President Donald Trump has arrived in Japan. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi hopes to improve trade relations. A proposal to buy Ford F-150 trucks is being considered. This could be a significant diplomatic move.

U.S. President Donald Trump has arrived in Japan, where he’ll meet new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi for the first time. The meeting is an early diplomatic test for Takaichi, who took office only last week and has a tenuous coalition backing her.

Months before she became Japan’s prime minister, Sanae Takaichi said she’d been invited to meet US President Donald Trump.

Takaichi is Japan's first female prime minister. She favors raising defense spending and that has boosted prices of stocks in major defense contractors, such as Kawasaki Heavy Industries, which gained 8.7%. IHI Corp. jumped 2.6% and Hitachi gained 2.7%.

Trump is set to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday in the likely climax of the trade expedition.
