Trump invited to Japan for 80th anniversary of atomic bombs

The mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have invited US President Donald Trump to visit Japan this year for the 80th anniversary of the World War II atomic bombings, officials said Wednesday.

In a joint letter to Trump, the mayors urged him to come and “listen to the testimonies of the hibakusha (bomb survivors) in person, take to heart their fervent wish for peace, and deepen your understanding of the inhumanity of nuclear weapons.”
