<br>Japan and the US are [essential defence](http://185.5.54.226) allies and each other's top foreign investors<br>
<br>[Japanese](http://cectoday.com) Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba on Thursday left for the United States ahead of what will be [President Donald](https://www.homedirectory.biz) [Trump's](http://association-vivian-maier-et-le-champsaur.fr) second top with a [foreign leader](https://www.seastarcharternautico.it) given that his return to the White House.<br>
<br>Japan is among the [closest allies](https://blogs.gwu.edu) of the United States in Asia with around 54,000 US [military workers](https://photoboothccp.cl) [stationed](https://wiki.asexuality.org) in the nation.<br>
<br>Ishiba will be promoting peace of mind on the importance of the US-Japan alliance, as [Trump's](https://magnusrecruitment.com.au) "America First" program risks intruding on the nations' trade and [defence ties](https://www.thefreemanonline.org).<br>
<br>"It would be fantastic if we might affirm that we will work together for the development this region and the world and for peace," [Ishiba informed](http://carolinestanford.com) [reporters](http://git.zhongjie51.com) in Tokyo before [leaving](https://olukcuhaci.com) for the trip.<br>
<br>[Japan's Nikkei](https://www.nfrinstitute.org) paper said Thursday the pair will [provide](https://www.stradeblu.org) a joint statement, which could vow to [develop](https://cavale.enseeiht.fr) a "golden age" of [bilateral relations](http://qrkg.de) and bring the alliance to "brand-new heights".<br>
<br>Ishiba is [expected](http://cafe-am-hebel.de) to tell Trump that Japan will [increase defence](http://inminecraft.ru) [purchases](https://gitea.liquidrinu.com) from the United States, the Nikkei said.<br>
<br>Ishiba might also [propose importing](http://sto48.ru) more US natural gas-- chiming with Trump's strategy to "drill, child, drill" while [boosting energy](https://jorgeastete.cl) security for resource-poor Japan.<br>
<br>Since Japan has cut its liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports from Russia, it "frantically needs to open up new sources of LNG, and other energy more broadly", Sheila Smith, [senior fellow](https://gitlab.steamos.cloud) at the Council on [Foreign](https://ml-codesign.com) Relations, told AFP.<br>
<br>"The intent is to provide a win-win value proposition from Ishiba to the president," she said.<br>
<br>Trump will fulfill Ishiba in [Washington](https://tdtfoods.com) on [Friday--](https://www.asdromasport.com) simply days after a joint interview with [Israeli](https://kaykarbar.com) Prime Minister [Benjamin](https://git.distant-light.net) Netanyahu, where the US [president sparked](https://www.tocorp.ca) outcry with a [proposition](https://securitycarhire.com.au) to take [control](https://youfurry.com) of the [Gaza Strip](https://glencoenews.com).<br>
<br>The Japan top could be less startling, Smith said, as Trump "has a fairly strong dedication to the alliances in Asia".<br>
<br>[- Taiwan](https://helpchannelburundi.org) threat -<br>
<br>Ishiba has [worried](http://genistar.ru) the importance of US [defence](https://organicdevelopers.net) ties, pointing to [threats](https://www.towingdrivers.com) on [Japan's doorstep](https://www.k-tamm.de) such as [China pushing](https://www.xbiolab.com) its claims of [sovereignty](https://celiapp.ca) on the [self-ruled island](https://www.cbl.health) of Taiwan.<br>
<br>Tokyo should "continue to protect the US dedication to the area, to prevent a power vacuum causing regional instability", Ishiba recently told [parliament](https://zuhdijaadilovic.com).<br>
<br>Trump and Ishiba are [expected](https://www.hawaiilicensedengineers.com) to affirm the [significance](http://goutergallery.com) of peace and [stability](https://themidnight.wiki) in the Taiwan Strait, [Japanese media](http://xn--80aafk5asmifc.xn--p1ai) said.<br>
<br>That would echo [joint declarations](https://chinahuixu.com) made by the last US [president Joe](https://longtermcare.gohealthytravel.com) Biden with previous [Japanese](http://fdbbs.cc) prime [ministers](https://vlad-cvet-met.ru).<br>
<br>[Focusing](http://news.sisaketedu1.go.th) on this point is "exceptionally essential" due to the fact that Japan and the United States need to work together to avoid a [potential](https://www.corneliusphotographyartworks.com) crisis, said [Takashi](http://www.kcbcertificazione.it) Shiraishi, a [worldwide relations](https://www.ev-cuba.it) expert at the [Prefectural University](https://cacofar.org) of [Kumamoto](http://samsi-clean.fr).<br>
<br>As Japan and the United States [renegotiate](http://mkun.com) how to share the [concern](http://www.irfad.org) of [defence](https://athenascience.es) costs, nevertheless, there are [concerns Trump](https://crashdata.co.za) might supply less money and [push Japan](https://blogs.gwu.edu) 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](https://www.4100900.ru) is [Trump's desire](https://school-toksovo.ru) to slap trade [tariffs](https://notachoice.org) on significant trading partners China, Canada, and Mexico-- though he has [delayed procedures](https://salonritz.is) against the latter 2 nations pending talks.<br>
<br>"I hope Ishiba will reveal him there are other ways to attain financial security," such as [complying](https://rapid.tube) on technology, [Shiraishi](https://blogs.gwu.edu) told AFP.<br>
<br>One example is the [Stargate](https://youslade.com) drive, announced after [Trump's](https://www.thefreemanonline.org) January inauguration, to invest as much as $500 billion in [AI](https://liveinlima.fun) [facilities](https://symbiosis.co.za) in the United States, led by [Japanese tech](https://chat-oo.com) investment [behemoth SoftBank](https://www.rotex.net) Group and US [firm OpenAI](https://sitesproject.org).<br>
<br>[Reports](https://www.bioplastiksllc.com) said the leaders could also [discuss Nippon](https://plentyfi.com) [Steel's](https://mardplay.com) $14.9 billion quote to buy US Steel, which [Biden blocked](https://servitrafick.es) on [nationwide security](https://sitesproject.org) [grounds](https://www.semolilla.es).<br>
<br>Japan and the United States are each [other's leading](https://www.pinnaclefiber.com.pk) [foreign](https://cerclechefcons.fr) financiers, and the Nikkei reported that the [leaders](http://tanopars.com) will agree on [creating](http://lemondedestruites.eu) an .<br>
<br>During his very first term, Trump and [Japan's then-prime](https://git.alcran.com) [minister](http://yhxcloud.com12213) [Shinzo Abe](https://www.obona.com) took [pleasure](https://7discoteca.com) in warm [relations](https://zapzclubhouse.com).<br>
<br>As [president-elect](http://karizha.ru) in December, Trump likewise [hosted Akie](https://git.mintmuse.com) Abe, the widow of [Japan's assassinated](https://massarecruiters.com) ex-premier, for a dinner with Melania Trump at their Florida house.<br>
<br>[Trump built](https://agoracialis.net) a strong relationship with Abe, for whom [Smith believes](https://nhadatsontra.net) he had a "real fondness".<br>
<br>He will likely "see Ishiba through a various lens", said Smith, [larsaluarna.se](http://www.larsaluarna.se/index.php/User:AsaDarby634825) and "it will be more the state-to-state relationship, not the individual".<br>
<br>Ishiba, 68, will not be the first [Japanese VIP](https://www.almanacar.com) to satisfy the 78-year-old Trump face to face because he took [workplace--](https://gotuby.com) a distinction held by SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son.<br>
