TRUMPS BEEN TRAIPSING THROUGH ASIA.
HELLO EVERYONE. I’M RICK JACKSON. THANKS FOR JOINING US!
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN ON A DIPLOMATIC TOUR THROUGH THE EAST.
OVER 12 DAYS, HE TRAVELLED TO 5 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES ACROSS THE PACIFIC OCEAN. INCLUDED IN HIS SCHEDULE? JAPAN, SOUTH KOREA, CHINA, VIETNAM AND THE PHILIPPINES.
HIS TOUR BEGAN… IN JAPAN. THE ISLAND COUNTRY IS HOME TO 127 MILLION PEOPLE AND MT. FUJI, AN ACTIVE VOLCANO THAT IS THEIR POINT OF PRIDE.
WHILE THERE, DONALD TRUMP MET WITH THE JAPANESE PRIME MINISTER SHINZO ABE. A PRIME MINISTER IS THE HEAD OF AN ELECTED GOVERNMENT. THEY PLAY A ROLE SIMILAR TO THAT OF A PRESIDENT.
TRUMP AND ABE STARTED THE VISIT WITH A ROUND OF GOLF – A PASTIME THE MEN HAVE SHARED BEFORE. THEN THEY GOT DOWN TO BUSINESS, TALKING ABOUT TRADE.
TRUMP: " AND WE LOVE IT WHEN YOU BUILD CARS, IF YOU'RE A JAPANESE FIRM, WE LOVE IT. TRY BUILDING YOUR CARS IN THE UNITED STATES INSTEAD OF SHIPPING THEM OVER. IS THAT POSSIBLE TO ASK? THAT'S NOT RUDE. IS THAT RUDE? I DON'T THINK SO."
