“I have to wish you all a very happy Memorial Day,” said America’s president. “On this Memorial Day evening in the United States, Americans are concluding a sacred day of remembrance, reflection and prayer.”

STATE VISIT

Among the other agendas planned out for the Trump’s was watching a sumo wrestling match, which the president enjoyed after awarding the winner, Asanoyama, with a “Trump Cup” trophy weighing over 60 pounds.

Trump also met with Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako, making him the first leader to meet the new emperor since he ascended to the throne. The emperor and empress gave the Trumps traditional pottery and porcelain bowl as gifts during their meeting.
