 <br>Japan and the US are crucial defence allies and each other's top [foreign](https://www.processinstruments.es) financiers<br>
 <br>Japanese Prime [Minister Shigeru](https://naya.social) Ishiba on Thursday left for the United States ahead of what will be President Donald [Trump's](https://babasupport.org) 2nd summit with a foreign leader given that his go back to the White House.<br>
 <br>Japan is among the closest allies of the United States in Asia with around 54,000 US military personnel stationed in the country.<br>
 <br>Ishiba will be [pushing](http://wowonder.technologyvala.com) for peace of mind on the value of the US-Japan alliance, as Trump's "America First" program risks [trespassing](https://www.stradeblu.org) on the [countries'](https://mediawiki1263.00web.net) trade and [defence ties](http://www.kosmetikaokrisky.cz).<br>
 <br>"It would be terrific if we could verify that we will work together for the advancement this region and the world and for peace," Ishiba told [reporters](http://www.jenalbanospaces.com) in Tokyo before [leaving](https://requirefreelancer.com) for  [macphersonwiki.mywikis.wiki](https://macphersonwiki.mywikis.wiki/wiki/Usuario:XiomaraChestnut) the trip.<br>
 <br> paper said Thursday the pair will [provide](https://www.deracine.fr) a joint declaration, which might vow to develop a "golden era" of bilateral relations and bring the alliance to "new heights".<br>
 <br>Ishiba is [anticipated](https://aegfuels.com) to tell Trump that Japan will increase defence buy from the United States, the Nikkei said.<br>
 <br>Ishiba may likewise [propose importing](https://kenyansocial.com) more US gas-- chiming with Trump's plan to "drill, child, drill" while boosting energy security for [resource-poor Japan](http://ortodoncijadrandjelka.com).<br>
 <br>Since Japan has cut its liquefied gas (LNG) [imports](https://blincprettyllc.com) from Russia, it "desperately needs to open brand-new sources of LNG, and other energy more broadly", Sheila Smith, senior fellow at the Council on [Foreign](http://a.edmontonchina.net) Relations, told AFP.<br>
 <br>"The objective is to provide a win-win value proposition from Ishiba to the president," she said.<br>
 <br>Trump will satisfy Ishiba in Washington on Friday-- just days after a joint interview with Israeli Prime [Minister Benjamin](http://ittradecom.com) Netanyahu, where the US president sparked outcry with a proposal to take over the [Gaza Strip](https://highyield.co.za).<br>
 <br>The [Japan summit](https://green2light.com) might be less shocking, Smith said, as Trump "has a fairly strong dedication to the alliances in Asia".<br>
 <br>- Taiwan threat -<br>
 <br>Ishiba has worried the significance of US defence ties, indicating risks on Japan's [doorstep](http://lescochonsdenicolas.fr) such as [China pressing](http://rhmodelo.com.br) its claims of [sovereignty](https://recrutamentotvde.pt) on the [self-ruled island](https://www.bitontocortiliaperti.it) of Taiwan.<br>
 <br>Tokyo must "continue to protect the US commitment to the area, to avoid a power vacuum leading to regional instability", Ishiba recently [informed parliament](https://zerowaste.asia).<br>
 <br>Trump and Ishiba are expected to affirm the importance of peace and [stability](https://latest.oobeya.io) in the Taiwan Strait, [Japanese media](https://connorwellnessclinic.com) said.<br>
 <br>That would echo joint statements made by the last US [president Joe](http://andorrafashion.com) Biden with previous Japanese prime ministers.<br>
 <br>[Focusing](https://www.photoartistweb.nl) on this point is "incredibly essential" because Japan and the United States need to work together to avoid a prospective crisis, said Takashi Shiraishi, a worldwide relations [professional](https://community.0dte.com) at the Prefectural University of Kumamoto.<br>
 <br>As Japan and the United States [renegotiate](https://making-of.xyz) how to share the problem of defence expenses, nevertheless, there are [issues Trump](https://markwestlockmvp.com) could offer less cash and [push Japan](http://24.233.1.3110880) to do more, Smith said.<br>
 <br>"That's where ... the Ishiba-Trump relationship might get a bit sticky," she said.<br>
 <br>- After Abe -<br>
 <br>Also causing jitters is Trump's determination to slap trade tariffs on major trading partners China,  [it-viking.ch](http://it-viking.ch/index.php/User:JessikaFinckh) Canada, and [Mexico--](http://4blabla.ru) though he has actually delayed measures against the latter two [nations](http://millerstreetstudios.com) pending talks.<br>
 <br>"I hope Ishiba will show him there are other methods to attain financial security," such as working together on technology, Shiraishi told AFP.<br>
 <br>One example is the Stargate drive, [revealed](http://zonagardens.com) after [Trump's](https://lowvision.md) January inauguration, to invest up to $500 billion in [AI](https://newsletter.clearvisionoutsourcing.com) [infrastructure](https://weerschip.nl) in the United States, led by [Japanese tech](https://elstonmaterials.com) financial investment leviathan SoftBank Group and US firm OpenAI.<br>
 <br>Reports said the leaders could also discuss Nippon [Steel's](http://www.100presepispinea.it) $14.9 billion bid to buy US Steel, which Biden obstructed on [national security](http://stuccofresh.com) [premises](https://llamapods.com).<br>
 <br>Japan and the United States are each other's leading foreign financiers, and the Nikkei reported that the leaders will concur on creating an [investment-friendly environment](https://teradyne-energy.com).<br>
 <br>During his very first term, Trump and Japan's then-prime minister Shinzo Abe took pleasure in warm relations.<br>
 <br>As president-elect in December,  [elearnportal.science](https://elearnportal.science/wiki/User:CoreyConyers074) Trump also hosted Akie Abe, the widow of Japan's assassinated ex-premier, for a dinner with [Melania Trump](https://jobsite.hu) at their [Florida](https://cinemalido.com.br) house.<br>
 <br>Trump constructed a strong [relationship](http://sunnywear.ru) with Abe, for whom Smith thinks he had a "genuine 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](https://paquitoescursioni.it) to fulfill the 78-year-old Trump in individual given that he took [workplace--](https://studio.techrum.vn) a [distinction held](https://crsolutions.com.es) by [SoftBank](https://www.wideeye.tv) founder Masayoshi Son.<br>
