Ammon News - Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba gifted President Trump a golden samurai helmet during their first face-to-face meeting at the White House on Friday.

The lavish present — known as the “Eternal Helmet” — came as the two world leaders discussed slashing the US trade deficit with Japan as Trump, 78, seeks to impose tariffs on neighboring countries and China to bolster American manufacturing.

Ishiba, 68, requested a company in his hometown of Tottori create the offering, specifically in gold, due to the popularity and mass acclaim of the epic FX/Hulu historical Japan-based drama “Shogun,” Japanese outlet Kyodo News reported, citing a government source.

In return, Trump gave Ishiba a copy of his “Save America” picture book featuring a cover photo from his first assassination attempt in Butler, Pa., last summer.

Trump was previously gifted a golden-painted golf club in November 2016 from late Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe worth a hefty $3,755. Shinzo, who was assassinated in 2022, also gave the commander in chief a $3,040 driver and a $460 putter during his first stint in the Oval Office. NYP
