U.S. President Donald Trump will attend the ongoing Summer Grand Sumo Tournament at Tokyos Ryogoku Kokugikan later this month and present a newly made trophy to the winner, sources at the Japan Sumo Association said Sunday.
The president is also likely to watch the final three bouts on the closing day of the meet on May 26, the sources revealed.
Trump spoke of his plans to attend the tournament and present a trophy at his meeting with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Washington late last month.
Ive always found (sumo) fascinating. So, in fact, were having a trophy made in this country. Were going to give the trophy to the winner of the championship, Trump said ahead of the bilateral meeting.
The name of the new trophy has yet to be determined, with the Trump Cup among those being considered.
The association is making arrangements for Trump to watch the bouts from a specially situated dining table near the raised ring at the center of the hall, taking security into consideration.
During their May 25-28 trip, Trump and his wife Melania will be Japans first state guests since the ascent to the throne of Emperor Naruhito.

Prediction: They already have set the trap somewhere in Tokyo. Or they will make it up as they go along. It will be some kind of constructed fake story making a lot of hoopla over him stepping on Japanese culture, customs, language or protocol somehow. It is dummied up in the print shop and ready to go. Just watch them spring it. It could be related to sumo or something else, but they lie in wait here, the advance (media) team, or will be in and out of here soon to rig it up, and they will find something, anything at all to get on him here, harp it to death and distract from trade, mutual defense, Norkies problems, Emperor greeting, etc. Take it to the bank.

OMG! PDJT refuses to use hashi?
“He is so culturally insensitive?”
You are right of course.
