TOKYO -- U.S. President Donald Trump is set to visit Japan in May and again in June, an unusual schedule reflecting Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's eagerness to showcase a personal rapport with the American leader for diplomatic advantage with other countries.
Tokyo and Washington are negotiating a visit by Trump from May 26 through May 28. He will become the first state guest to be received by Crown Prince Naruhito after he takes the throne May 1. Trump will then return to Japan a month later -- from June 28 through June 29 for the Group of 20 summit in Osaka.
