“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.”

“It is a privilege to once again join with you, our incredible sailors and marines, on their USS Wasp at work here in the Pacific Ocean. Thank you for your service and sacrifice, and all that you do on behalf of our country.”

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.
