(MNI) London – All timings are subject to change.

Monday 27 October:

• Japan-US: US President Donald Trump began a three-day state visit, starting with a ‘courtesy call’ meeting with Emperor Naruhito in Tokyo. Trump’s first in-person talks with new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi will take place on the morning of Tuesday, 28 October, before Trump inspects troops aboard the USS George Washington and attends a dinner with business leaders in the evening. For Takaichi, a key aim of Trump’s visit will be to gain assurances that Japan will not face higher trade tariffs and that the US will maintain its security support in the Indo-Pacific.
