Japan’s leader says he’s preparing for tough negotiations with Trump on maintaining US presence

Associated Press  

TOKYO — Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, struggling to stabilize his minority government, said Friday he will seek to maintain regional security and prepare for tough negotiations with U.S. President Donald Trump to win his commitment to maintain a strong American presence in the Asia-Pacific. Ishiba said Japan faces “the most severe and complicated security environment” since World War II and needs to bolster its own defense capabilities and elevate the Japan-U.S. alliance while expanding and deepening ties with other partners. He said this week that he hopes to discuss with Trump how Japan and the United States can make “the most of each other’s national interests” and contribute to global peace and economic growth. He said his policy goals also include responses to Japan’s population decline, boosting stagnant salaries, reducing the national debt, and his pet project, building disaster resilience.
