Donald Trump landed at Yokota Air Base on the outskirts of Tokyo, where he will begin his trip with an address to American service members. He told reporters that the meeting is “expected” to happen and that he “will want Putin’s help” in dealing with the North Korea nuclear crisis. Trump and Putin could cross paths twice during the president’s lengthy Asia trip: at a summit in Vietnam and later in the Philippines. The White House said Trump would be undeterred. The White House is banking on the close relationships Trump has established with some Asian leaders to help make his demands more palatable.
