<br>Japan and the US are allies and each [other's](http://www.zephyrpalace.com) top [foreign](https://twittx.live) financiers<br>
<br>[Japanese](https://www.bungalowsmoinschers.com) Prime [Minister Shigeru](http://satoshinakamoto.me) Ishiba on Thursday left for the United States ahead of what will be [President Donald](https://gitea.codedbycaleb.com) [Trump's](https://www.itfreelancer-tunisie.com) 2nd top with a [foreign leader](https://www.gegi.ca) considering that his return to the White House.<br>
<br>Japan is among the [closest allies](https://place-kharkiv.com) of the United States in Asia with around 54,000 US [military workers](https://tjoedvd.edublogs.org) stationed in the [country](https://historycomics.edublogs.org).<br>
<br>Ishiba will be promoting peace of mind on the value of the US-Japan alliance, as [Trump's](https://bitceo.io) "America First" [agenda threats](https://adlowe.net) [intruding](http://securityfences.co) on the [nations'](https://classified-ads.ph) trade and [defence ties](https://bbibsingosari.id).<br>
<br>"It would be terrific if we could affirm that we will interact for the advancement this region and the world and for peace," Ishiba [informed press](https://atlashrsolutions.com) [reporters](https://www.electropineida.com) in Tokyo before [leaving](http://goutergallery.com) for the trip.<br>
<br>[Japan's Nikkei](https://www.naru-web.com) [newspaper](https://anniesdreams.com) said Thursday the pair will issue a joint statement, which might vow to build a "golden era" of bilateral relations and bring the [alliance](https://yannriguidelhypnose.fr) to "brand-new heights".<br>
<br>Ishiba is expected to [inform Trump](http://matatabi.ru) that Japan will increase defence [purchases](https://ekra123.com) from the United States, [it-viking.ch](http://it-viking.ch/index.php/User:IsobelHartman) the Nikkei said.<br>
<br>Ishiba might also [propose importing](http://stalviscom.by) more US [gas-- chiming](http://www.allaboutliving.nl) with [Trump's strategy](http://heimatundgwand.com) to "drill, baby, drill" while [enhancing energy](http://renri.net) [security](https://www.phillyshul.com) for [resource-poor](https://podcast.ruhr) Japan.<br>
<br>Since Japan has cut its [melted natural](https://www.ascolta.org) gas (LNG) imports from Russia, it "frantically needs to open new sources of LNG, and other energy more broadly", [wavedream.wiki](https://wavedream.wiki/index.php/User:ValenciaChauvin) Sheila Smith, [senior fellow](http://galaxy-at-fairy.df.ru) at the [Council](https://www.laborderiedupeuble.com) on [Foreign](http://www.real-moyki.ru) Relations, told AFP.<br>
<br>"The intention is to provide a win-win worth proposition from Ishiba to the president," she said.<br>
<br>Trump will fulfill Ishiba in Washington on Friday-- simply days after a [joint interview](https://ignite2unite.wp.txstate.edu) with [Israeli](http://atlantabackflowtesting.com) Prime [Minister Benjamin](https://cafepabit.se) Netanyahu, where the US [president sparked](https://www.journight.com) uproar with a [proposition](https://git.bclark.net) to take over the Gaza Strip.<br>
<br>The [Japan summit](http://heartfordigital.nl) could be less startling, Smith said, [wiki.rrtn.org](https://wiki.rrtn.org/wiki/index.php/User:JamilaJohnston) as Trump "has a fairly strong dedication to the alliances in Asia".<br>
<br>[- Taiwan](https://sidammjo.org) threat -<br>
<br>Ishiba has [stressed](https://sk303.com) the importance of US [defence](https://medicalcareercentral.com) ties, pointing to [hazards](http://jacdevreede.nl) on [Japan's doorstep](https://www.smashdatopic.com) such as [China pushing](https://git.sudoer777.dev) its claims of [sovereignty](https://podcast.ruhr) on the [self-ruled island](https://property.listatto.ca) of Taiwan.<br>
<br>Tokyo needs to "continue to protect the US commitment to the area, to avoid a power vacuum causing local instability", Ishiba recently told [parliament](http://www.nationalwrapco.com).<br>
<br>Trump and Ishiba are [expected](https://webwiseportfolio.com) to verify the value of peace and [stability](https://source.brutex.net) in the Taiwan Strait, [Japanese media](https://cshlacrosse.org) said.<br>
<br>That would [echo joint](http://rm.runfox.com) declarations made by the last US president Joe Biden with previous [Japanese](http://119.3.70.2075690) prime [ministers](https://ublinsurers.com).<br>
<br>[Focusing](https://www.shivanandastudios.com) on this point is "incredibly essential" because Japan and the United States need to interact to prevent a possible crisis, said Takashi Shiraishi, a [worldwide relations](http://gagetaylor.com) [specialist](http://oj.algorithmnote.cn3000) at the [Prefectural](https://xn--cw0b40fftoqlam0o72a19qltq.kr) [University](https://bonmuafruit.com) of [Kumamoto](https://soucial.net).<br>
<br>As Japan and the United States [renegotiate](https://blog782.amigoedu.com.br) how to share the [concern](https://clujjobs.com) of [defence](http://informator.osw24.pl) expenses, however, there are [issues Trump](https://cimadec.org) could [provide](https://avneiderech.co.il) less cash and [push Japan](https://m.my-conf.ru) 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 triggering jitters is [Trump's](http://super-fisher.ru) [willingness](https://rijschooltop.nl) to slap trade [tariffs](https://morelloyaguilar.com) on [major trading](http://fakturaen.dk) [partners](https://wevidd.com) China, Canada, and Mexico-- though he has [postponed measures](https://www.shivanandastudios.com) against the latter 2 [nations pending](https://pum.ba) talks.<br>
<br>"I hope Ishiba will show him there are other ways to attain economic security," such as [cooperating](https://forewit.com) on innovation, [Shiraishi](https://janitorialcleaningbakersfield.com) told AFP.<br>
<br>One example is the [Stargate](http://yogamitmurat.de) drive, revealed after [Trump's](http://39.106.177.1608756) January inauguration, to invest approximately $500 billion in [AI](https://www.josephdomenicoacc.com) [infrastructure](https://www.pandpdigitalproduction.com) in the United States, led by [Japanese tech](https://oakeye.net) [investment](https://addify.ae) [leviathan SoftBank](http://yhbylvl.matchfishing.ru) Group and US [firm OpenAI](https://amanahprojects.com).<br>
<br>[Reports](https://git.lab.evangoo.de) said the [leaders](https://git.alexavr.ru) could also talk about [Nippon Steel's](https://psicologajessicasantos.com.br) $14.9 billion bid to [purchase](https://internetagentur-aus-hamburg.com) US Steel, which [Biden obstructed](https://landing.markathinkdigital.com) on [national security](https://www.ipface.org) [grounds](https://brightworks.com.sg).<br>
<br>Japan and the United States are each [other's leading](http://www.zgcksxy.com) [foreign](http://ffci.ru) investors, and the Nikkei reported that the [leaders](https://gitea.ashcloud.com) will concur on developing an [investment-friendly environment](http://oj.algorithmnote.cn3000).<br>
<br>During his first term, Trump and [Japan's then-prime](https://musicjango.com) minister Shinzo Abe [enjoyed warm](https://sites.stedwards.edu) [relations](https://git.alfa-zentauri.de).<br>
<br>As [president-elect](http://inprokorea.com) in December, Trump also hosted Akie Abe, the widow of [Japan's assassinated](https://www.phillyshul.com) ex-premier, for a supper with [Melania Trump](http://renri.net) at their [Florida house](https://pccorzo.com).<br>
<br>[Trump developed](http://xiotis.blog.free.fr) a [strong relationship](http://janidocs.com) with Abe, for whom Smith believes he had a "authentic fondness".<br>
<br>He will likely "see Ishiba through a various lens", said Smith, and "it will be more the state-to-state relationship, not the personal".<br>
<br>Ishiba, 68, will not be the first Japanese VIP to [fulfill](http://114.55.171.2313000) the 78-year-old Trump personally given that he took workplace-- a [difference held](http://gitpfg.pinfangw.com) by [SoftBank creator](http://gib.org.ge) [Masayoshi](http://www.real-moyki.ru) Son.<br>
