TOKYO – Plans for U.S. President Donald Trump to check out the ancient Japanese sport of sumo wrestling during a state visit are raising security issues for organizers. They may also have to ban the sale of canned beer in the front section, where Trump is expected to sit, the reports said. Trump’s state visit from May 25-28 has regional security and trade issues on the agenda. But Abe has made showing off close relations with Trump a key part of his profile. The Japan Sumo Association and the U.S. Embassy declined comment Tuesday.
