US President Donald Trump visited the USS George Washington on 28 October 2025 during his Asia tour. The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was docked at Yokosuka Naval Base near Tokyo. It was Trump's first visit to Japan since returning to office, and it came as tensions rose across the Indo-Pacific.
The visit followed his stop in Malaysia and came before a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, the country's first female leader, joined Trump aboard the vessel.
