Japan PM Ishiba Pledges Military Buildup, Stronger US Alliance Amid Rising Tensions
Nov 10, 2024, 01:27 PM
Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has pledged to build up Japan's military and deepen its alliance with the United States amid rising regional tensions. Ishiba made this vow on Saturday during a military parade at Japan Ground Self-Defense Force Camp Asaka in Tokyo, where he stated that Japan is facing 'its most severe and complex security environment since the postwar period.' The increased military activity of China and Russia has been cited as a significant factor in this decision. However, a recent win by Trump may dampen Ishiba's ambitions for changes to the US troop pact.
