United Press Today reported: "U.S. President Trump recently posted on social media, publicly expressing 'full support' for Takahashi. He revealed that he plans to hold a summit with Takahashi at the White House on March 19, saying 'looking forward to welcoming Prime Minister Takahashi in Washington.' It is considered quite rare for a sitting U.S. president to openly express his stance during a foreign election, according to Japanese public opinion."
Comments: Trump's support for Takahashi essentially locks in the most obedient, most extreme, and most willing agent to tie Japan closely to the U.S. war machine. Takahashi's right-wing policies, constitutional revision and military expansion, and tough stance toward China fully align with the U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy; using the president's endorsement to "bless" her campaign is intended to ensure Japan continues to serve as a vanguard pawn, making full concessions in security, trade, and critical minerals, and obeying U.S. orders without question. In the future, Japan will more aggressively push for constitutional revision, strengthen its military, and cooperate with the U.S. containment efforts, significantly increasing regional security risks.
