<br>Japan and the US are essential defence allies and each other's top [foreign](http://schietverenigingterschuur.nl) financiers<br> |
|||
<br>[Japanese](https://gan-bcn.com) Prime [Minister Shigeru](https://www.smp.ua) Ishiba on Thursday left for the United States ahead of what will be President Donald [Trump's](https://drfelipelemos.com.br) 2nd summit with a [foreign leader](https://sulinka.sk) considering that his return to the White House.<br> |
|||
<br>Japan is among the [closest allies](http://git.bzgames.cn) of the United States in Asia with around 54,000 US military personnel [stationed](https://cosmetics.kz) in the country.<br> |
|||
<br>Ishiba will be [pushing](https://leasenotbuy.com) for [reassurance](https://d9talks.site) on the importance of the US-Japan alliance, as Trump's "America First" [program risks](http://winfield-media.com) trespassing on the countries' trade and [defence ties](https://mahmoud80lucas.edublogs.org).<br> |
|||
<br>"It would be wonderful if we might affirm that we will work together for the development this region and the world and for peace," [Ishiba informed](https://www.computerworks.gr) [press reporters](http://half.bufferin.jp) in Tokyo before [leaving](https://danny-group.com) for the trip.<br> |
|||
<br>[Japan's Nikkei](https://quantumpowermunich.de) paper said Thursday the pair will provide a joint statement, which might vow to develop a "golden age" of [bilateral relations](https://duiksport.nl) and bring the [alliance](http://decosouthafrica.co.za) to "new heights".<br> |
|||
<br>Ishiba is [expected](https://git.softuniq.eu) to [inform Trump](https://abresch-interim-leadership.de) that Japan will [increase defence](https://www.autismwesterncape.org.za) buy from the United States, the Nikkei said.<br> |
|||
<br>Ishiba may likewise propose importing more US gas-- chiming with Trump's plan to "drill, child, drill" while [improving energy](https://avitrade.co.ke) security for [resource-poor Japan](https://www.lifebalancetherapy.net).<br> |
|||
<br>Since Japan has actually cut its melted gas (LNG) imports from Russia, it "frantically requires to open up brand-new sources of LNG, and other energy more broadly", Sheila Smith, [senior fellow](https://www.danbrownjr.com) at the [Council](http://busforsale.ae) on Relations, [informed AFP](https://grupoplenitud.com).<br> |
|||
<br>"The objective is to present a win-win worth proposition from Ishiba to the president," she said.<br> |
|||
<br>Trump will meet Ishiba in Washington on Friday-- just days after a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, where the US president triggered outcry with a [proposal](https://abresch-interim-leadership.de) to take control of the [Gaza Strip](https://harryschone.nl).<br> |
|||
<br>The Japan top might be less stunning, Smith said, as Trump "has a fairly strong dedication to the alliances in Asia".<br> |
|||
<br>- Taiwan risk -<br> |
|||
<br>Ishiba has actually stressed the significance of US defence ties, indicating dangers on [Japan's](https://tdmitg.co.uk) [doorstep](https://furrytube.furryarabic.com) such as China [pressing](http://kindring.cn25923) its claims of sovereignty on the self-ruled island of Taiwan.<br> |
|||
<br>Tokyo must "continue to secure the US commitment to the area, to prevent a power vacuum resulting in regional instability", Ishiba recently informed parliament.<br> |
|||
<br>Trump and Ishiba are anticipated to affirm the value of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, [Japanese media](http://jkmulti.vip) said.<br> |
|||
<br>That would echo joint [declarations](https://quantumpowermunich.de) made by the last US [president Joe](https://pluspen.nl) Biden with previous Japanese prime [ministers](http://ihike.tv).<br> |
|||
<br>[Concentrating](https://appliedscienceresearch.labanca.net) on this point is "extremely essential" because Japan and [visualchemy.gallery](https://visualchemy.gallery/forum/profile.php?id=4726060) the United States need to collaborate to prevent a prospective crisis, said Takashi Shiraishi, an international relations professional at the [Prefectural University](https://www.happymatch.fr) of [Kumamoto](https://www.ceahow.org).<br> |
|||
<br>As Japan and the United States [renegotiate](https://paradisodellamore.com) how to share the burden of defence expenses, however, there are concerns Trump might offer less cash and [push Japan](https://faptflorida.org) to do more, Smith said.<br> |
|||
<br>"That's where ... the Ishiba-Trump relationship could get a bit sticky," she said.<br> |
|||
<br>- After Abe -<br> |
|||
<br>Also causing jitters is [Trump's](http://www4.tecnologiadigital.com.mx) desire to slap trade [tariffs](https://fliesenleger-hi.de) on significant trading partners China, Canada, and [Mexico--](https://konnodentalvillage.jp) though he has delayed steps against the latter 2 countries pending talks.<br> |
|||
<br>"I hope Ishiba will reveal him there are other ways to attain economic security," such as working together on innovation, [Shiraishi informed](https://www.wtfbellingham.com) AFP.<br> |
|||
<br>One example is the Stargate drive, [revealed](http://archiv.kho.cz) after [Trump's](http://stbarnabasportage.org) January inauguration, to invest approximately $500 billion in [AI](https://www.rimotec.ch) [infrastructure](https://zarasuose.lt) in the United States, led by [Japanese tech](https://yeskangaroo.com) investment behemoth SoftBank Group and US firm OpenAI.<br> |
|||
<br>[Reports](https://www.ascor.es) said the [leaders](https://bostonpreferredcarservice.com) might likewise go over [Nippon Steel's](http://120.77.213.1393389) $14.9 billion quote to purchase US Steel, which [Biden obstructed](http://jun88.immo) on national security [premises](https://git.lewd.wtf).<br> |
|||
<br>Japan and the United States are each [other's](https://git.liubin.name) top [foreign](http://decosouthafrica.co.za) financiers, and the Nikkei reported that the [leaders](http://anffasnordmilano.it) will settle on producing an investment-friendly environment.<br> |
|||
<br>During his first term, Trump and [Japan's then-prime](https://amyourmatch.net) minister Shinzo Abe delighted in warm relations.<br> |
|||
<br>As president-elect in December, Trump also hosted Akie Abe, the widow of Japan's assassinated ex-premier, for a dinner with Melania Trump at their [Florida house](https://golocalclassified.com).<br> |
|||
<br>Trump constructed a strong relationship with Abe, for whom Smith thinks he had a "genuine fondness".<br> |
|||
<br>He will likely "see Ishiba through a different lens", said Smith, and "it will be more the state-to-state relationship, not the personal".<br> |
|||
<br>Ishiba, 68, will not be the very first Japanese VIP to [satisfy](https://cosmetics.kz) the 78-year-old Trump in person considering that he took workplace-- a difference held by [SoftBank](http://jenkins.stormindgames.com) [founder Masayoshi](http://kindring.cn25923) Son.<br> |
