Japan has pledged 250 cherry trees to the U.S. to replace those uprooted during the renovation of Washington’s Tidal Basin.⁠
⁠
Hundreds of aging cherry trees are being removed as part of a $133 million renovation to repair the Tidal Basin’s seawall. Japan Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said he decided to donate upon learning that over 100 cherry trees will be removed during the renovation.⁠
⁠
U.S. President Joe Biden expressed gratitude for the gift and lauded the cherry trees as a symbol of the enduring U.S.-Japan relationship. ⁠
“Like our friendship … these trees are timeless, inspiring and thriving,” he said at the ceremony. ⁠
