Japan and the United States said on Sunday that they held regular talks on the U.S. "nuclear umbrella," called the "Extended Deterrence Dialogue" (EDD), on Wednesday (February 18). The discussion also included so-called China's "increased nuclear weapons stockpiles and nuclear tests," as well as issues related to Russia's long-term non-compliance with arms control treaties. The U.S. reiterated the need for multilateral strategic stability and arms control dialogue. Japan welcomed the U.S. willingness to achieve better agreements and emphasized the importance of including Russia and China in relevant negotiations.
