Trump ending Japan trip after Memorial Day speech

President Donald Trump will be heading home from Japan Tuesday after stopping aboard a US warship to give a Memorial Day speech to US forces.

Trump will land aboard on two vessels near a base in nearby Yokosuka.

One is the Japanese destroyer J.S. Kaga where he'll be joined by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The other is the USS Wasp, a multipurpose amphibious assault ship where he'll deliver Memorial Day remarks to the troops.

Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako also are expected to visit with Trump and first lady Melania Trump.

The US honoured it's fallen on Memorial Day on Monday.

Trump has been criticized for skipping visits to cemeteries to honour US troops, but he placed flags on graves in Arlington Cemetery last week before leaving for Japan.
