Trump visits US, Japanese troops aboard ships

President Donald Trump is giving Memorial Day remarks to more than 800 members of the US military aboard the USS Wasp stationed in Japan.

Trump called them the "daring and mighty warriors in the Pacific" Ocean.

He says the US-Japan alliance has never been stronger. Trump says the United States endures because of brave men and women who are willing to sacrifice to defend the nation.

First lady Melania Trump introduced the president and the U.S. forces shouted "U.S.A. U.S.A." A fighter plane, illuminated with red, white and blue lights, was parked nearby.

Just before landing aboard the ship, he flew Marine One to a Japanese destroyer to meet with Japanese forces.

President Donald Trump had an American-style greeting for Japanese forces when he saw them aboard their warship near Tokyo.

Trump told them "Happy Memorial Day!" a message that seemed more fitting for Americans back home who were honoring those killed while defending the United States.
