TOKYO (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump urged Japanese business leaders on Saturday to increase their investment in the United States while saying Japan had a substantial edge on trade that negotiators were trying to even out.

Trump arrived in Japan earlier on Saturday for a state visit. He told the group of top business executives there had never been a better time to invest in the United States.
