Trump Could Discuss Ford Trucks In Japan

TOKYO (AP) — President Donald Trump has landed in Japan where he’ll meet new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi for the first time. She’s a protege of late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who Trump bonded with over their shared love of golf. It’s a critical meeting for Takaichi, who wants to calm trade tensions. Trump has long complained American cars were shut out Japanese markets. So Japan’s government has floated the idea of buying a fleet of Ford F-150 trucks to use to inspect roads and infrastructure. Some worry the trucks could clog narrow Japanese streets. But Trump told reporters he likes the idea.
