BBC World Service - Weekend, President Trump visits Japan

President Trump is in Japan for a four day visit, with trade a major focus

President Trump is in Japan for a four day visit, with trade a major focus.

US President Donald Trump is visiting Tokyo, the first state visit of a foreign leader in the country's emperor Reiwa era. Mr Trump will likely discuss trade and North Korea when he meets with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

And, are digital personal assistants reinforcing sexist stereotypes?

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Agnes Poirier, French journalist, writer and broadcaster and Marcus Chown, British science writer, journalist and broadcaster.
