Hagset requires Japan to increase defense spending as soon as possible and continue to mention China!
On October 28, Takayana Hayashi promised the US President to strengthen Japan's defense capabilities and increase defense spending, but both sides did not discuss specific figures and details.
This omission was immediately filled during Hagset's meeting with Japanese Defense Minister Shintaro Ishihara. Hagset emphasized that strengthening the US-Japan alliance requires continuing to develop military forces to prevent conflicts and fight if necessary to achieve victory. Therefore, he requested Japan to take an important step of increasing defense spending as soon as possible.
Hagset explained to Shintaro Ishihara the correctness and urgency of the US position, which states that China is enhancing its military strength in an unprecedented way and taking offensive military actions, making the security situation in Asia still severe.
