Trump made these remarks while traveling to Japan, where he is on a diplomatic visit as part of an Asia trip. Putin recently claimed the missile is &#8220;invincible&#8221; to air defenses and emphasized its unique capabilities. Trump responded that such comments were inappropriate and emphasized that the war, which he believes should have ended quickly, has dragged on nearly four years. During his visit,Trump planned meetings with Japanese leaders,including Emperor Naruhito and newly elected Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi,focusing on strengthening U.S.-Japan relations and furthering trade deals in the region.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump says Putin should be ending war, not &lsquo;testing missiles,&rsquo; ahead of Japan trip<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2382959\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> had strong words for Russian President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/vladimir-putin\/\">Vladimir Putin<\/a> while traveling to Japan on Monday after reports of Russia&rsquo;s recent tests of a nuclear-powered cruise missile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Russian president touted the weapon&rsquo;s capabilities on Sunday, declaring it &ldquo;invincible&rdquo; to air defenses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3864653\/egypt-sends-team-gaza-help-hamas-find-hostage-remains\/\">Egypt sends team to Gaza to help Hamas find hostage remains<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3864631\/trump-begins-asia-trip-major-trade-deal-openness-meeting-kim-jong-un\/\">Trump has begun Asia trip with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-nikki-haley-attending-beijing-olympics-after-tokyo-would-give-propaganda-victory-to-china\/\" title=\"EXCLUSIVE: Nikki Haley: Att...
