President Trump and PM Abe Sign New Market Access Agreement.
The new agreement slashes tariffs and opens new markets to $7 billion in U.S. agriculture. Additionally, the deal reduces barriers on the $40 billion of digital trade between the two countries.
Note: This is an original edit that edited a 15 min down to 2:20 so we can pass it around. I had to remove Abe and his translator's comments (sorry Abe) as well as part of the applause. It contains everything Trump said at the signing.

Dear President @MBuhari, welcome to #Anambra - your state of campaign rallies

If everything happens as planned Mr. President, you will set your feet in Anambra - your state of campaign rallies - today.

#Thread
#PMBInAnambra
Your Excellency, before you came back to become an elected president of the Federal Republic, there were dozens of events that offered you compelling reasons to pay visit to the Light of the Nation, but you found excuses to stay away.
#PMBInAnambra
Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu died and was buried. Leaders from all over the world poured in to Nnewi, Anambra State, to pay their last respect. You were nowhere to be found.

We lost our very own erudite Prof. Chinua Achebe, you couldn't care less, Your Excellency.
