The White House post celebrates a White House meeting between President Trump and Japan's new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, featuring two signed black baseball caps emblazoned with "JAPAN IS BACK" and a Japanese flag, echoing Trump's MAGA branding.

The October 28, 2025, summit highlights strengthened U.S.-Japan ties, including a rare earths supply deal and discussions on North Korean abductee families, with Takaichi gifting Trump a putter once used by the late Shinzo Abe.

This exchange signals a "golden age" of bilateral relations, drawing on shared history of post-WWII reconciliation and mutual economic interests, as evidenced by joint commitments to defense and trade amid global tensions.
