US President Trump is desperately exploiting Japan and South Korea. Don't be fooled by the fact that Japan and South Korea are America's "close allies" and constantly fawn over the US, but America has not let up on Japan and South Korea because of this. On the contrary, the severely anemic United States urgently needs blood transfusions, so these two "close allies" of America have become Trump's big blood bags.

Trump previously raised the tariff stick against Japan and South Korea for extortion. For Japan and South Korea to get tariff reductions from the US, they must make massive investments in the US. Trump's allocation is for Japan to invest 55 billion USD in the US, and for South Korea to invest 35 billion USD in the US.

Although Trump changes his mind every day, when it comes to extorting allies and stealing money from them, Trump not only has a good memory, but also maintains a consistent attitude, increasing the pressure continuously.

Recently, Trump said at the White House: "We will get 55 billion USD from Japan and 35 billion USD from South Korea, all of which are upfront payments." In other words, Japan and South Korea can't rely on the "procrastination" tactic to avoid paying and hope that the issue of huge investments will be forgotten after Trump's term ends. No way! They must pay first!!

Moreover, Trump has other ways to hassle Japan and South Korea, such as requiring Japan and South Korea to fully bear the costs of the US military stationed in Japan and South Korea, and to purchase more American goods.

If Trump's extortion of Japan and South Korea is implemented one by one, the already barely surviving Japanese and South Korean economies would plummet into a deep abyss.

This is the fate of Japan and South Korea being vassals of the United States! When the US is not short of money, it doesn't mind giving some scraps to Japan and South Korea. But when the US is short of money, Japan and South Korea must provide everything to the US, even if it means going bankrupt. Trump doesn't care about the survival of the allies, he is telling the world with action that the statement by Kissinger, "It is dangerous to be an enemy of the United States, but it is fatal to be its ally," is very correct.
