The meeting is scheduled to discuss trade and US-led efforts to contain the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)’s nuclear program.
US President Donald Trump is expected to visit Japan in late May to meet with the country’s new emperor.
During his visit, President Trump will likely become the first foreign dignitary to meet with the emperor after his ascension to the throne in May.
Accordingly, in Tokyo, Mr. Trump plans to greet Crown Prince Naruhito, who will become emperor on May 1st, a day after the abdication of his father, Emperor Akihito.
He is also slated to visit the East Asian nation for the G-20 summit in Osaka in June.
Japan was the first stop on Mr. Trump's November 2017 Asia tour./.
