 This comes via Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who wants to keep the atmosphere upbeat during Trump’s visit to Tokyo from November 5 to 7. Piko Taro will take part in a special dinner organised by Japan’s PM. Abe appears to be offering up activities appealing to Trump’s personality. Besides getting to hang out with an internet meme, Trump will play a round of golf with Hideki Matsuyama, the fourth-ranked golfer in the world.
