Major Endorsement Before the Election! Trump Strongly Supports Takahashi Sanae, US-Japan Alliance Revs Up Again
On February 6, Reuters reported: "Before Japan's House of Representatives election, Trump publicly supported Takahashi Sanae. On Thursday, Trump posted: 'Takahashi and her ruling coalition have performed remarkably well. I, as President of the United States, am honored to offer her and her ruling coalition full and complete support.'"
With the Japanese election countdown, Trump's public endorsement of Takahashi Sanae essentially represents an open escalation of the US-Japan strategic binding. Looking back over the past 70 years since the war, the United States has repeatedly issued signals of support before Japanese elections, using alliance stability to exchange for front-line deployment cooperation. This statement not only provides a strong boost to Takahashi's administration before the election, but also locks in the White House meeting in March, strengthening the Indo-Pacific layout. Takahashi's push for continuously rising defense budgets and accelerated policy shifts align with U.S. strategic needs. However, external interference may not match the people's demands, and the Asia-Pacific region needs more stability and dialogue. Unilateral toughness and pre-election maneuvering will only increase regional uncertainty. Peaceful development is the mainstream expectation in the region!
