The Trumps pay their respects to the fallen: President and First Lady offer solemn floral tribute at Pearl Harbor shrine before departing on Asia tour overshadowed by North Korea crisis

    President Donald Trump arrived in Hawaii on Friday as he set out on the longest trip to Asia by an American president in more than a quarter century
    Trump will be looking for help from Asian allies in pressuring North Korea to stand down from a nuclear crisis
    Trump and his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, arrived at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam late Thursday after a daylong flight from Washington
    The First Lady left Washington in a winter jacket in electrifying cobalt blue but changed mid-flight into a sleek white sun dress that bared her arms
    After arriving, Trump met with military brass at the US Pacific Command, where the topic of North Korea's nuclear program was at the top of the agenda
    Trump and the First Lady then took a ferry to Ford Island and visited the memorial for the soldiers who were killed aboard the USS Arizona during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump laid a wreath and threw hibiscus flowers into the sea on Friday at a Hawaii memorial for US soldiers who died at Pearl Harbor nearly 80 years ago.

Embarking on his first official tour of Asia, Trump said he eagerly anticipated a visit to Pearl Harbor, where thousands of service members paid the ultimate sacrifice.

'Getting ready to land in Hawaii. Looking so much forward to meeting with our great Military/Veterans at Pearl Harbor!' Trump tweeted aboard Air Force One as he neared the end of a 10-hour flight from Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland.
