“No nation should ever underestimate American resolve,” said Trump, who did not refer to North Korea by name. Japan is the least testing stop on Trump’s trip, the longest Asian tour by any US president since George Bush in 1992. Abe has consistently backed the president’s tough stance on North Korea – support that Trump lauded in his address. Trump defended his provocative remarks about the North Korean nuclear crisis en route to Japan from Hawaii earlier Sunday. “We want Putin’s help on North Korea.”The tour comes at a precarious moment for Trump.
