US President Donald Trump sat in Hawaii on Friday in the first ban before an 11-day Asian trip to visit Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam, and the Philippines.

We'll be visiting very soon, Pearl Harbor, which I've read about, I've talked a lot about it, I've heard about it, I've studied, but I've never visited it. And this will be very exciting for me”, Trump said before meeting the army and military leaders, reports “Deutsche Welle”, the Periscope broadcast.

North Korean nuclear and ballistic missile programmes and trade are the main points on the agenda of the president's trip to Asia.

“We will talk, of course, about North Korea”, Trump said before leaving Washington. “We will receive the help of many people and countries and we will see what will happen, but I think we will have a very successful trip,” he added.

Trump will fly to Japan on Saturday, a US strategic ally and economic partner.
