Trump to meet Japan’s newly elected first woman leader Sanae Takaichi in Tokyo: Live updates

President Donald Trump has a busy day ahead as he continues his Asian tour. The president kicked off his agenda at 9:30am local time in Tokyo, meeting with Japan’s conservative nationalist Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, the country’s first female leader. From there, Trump will visit troops aboard the USS George Washington in Yokosuko and conclude the day with a dinner and reception with business leaders back in the Japanese capital. The whirlwind of meetings comes as Donald Trump disclosed he recently had an MRI scan for undisclosed reasons. “I did. I got an MRI. It was perfect,” he told reporters on Air Force One Monday as he traveled to Japan. Pressed further on what the scan was taken for, the president replied: “You can ask the doctors.” Also on board, Trump labeled House Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as “low IQ” before suggesting she take the “very hard” cognitive tests that he passed. “If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed,” he said, before describing the test itself. “Those are very hard… The first couple of questions are easy. A tiger, an elephant, a giraffe, you know. When you get up to about five or six, and then when you get up to 10 and 20 and 25, they couldn’t come close to answering any of those questions.”
