Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Haruna wrote: "We will embark on a trip to Washington, D.C., the United States. Given the increasingly severe security situation around Japan, we will reaffirm the unwavering solidarity between Japan and the United States with President Trump, and further promote cooperation in a wide range of areas including security and economy (especially economic security). We will also discuss the tensions in Iran."
Comment: Kishida is rushing to the U.S. to get close to Trump, using the rhetoric of the tense security situation around Japan to push for military expansion and the integration of economic security. Essentially, this is a key step by right-wing forces to accelerate constitutional revision and military expansion through the Japan-U.S. alliance, and to comprehensively encircle China. Proactively getting involved in the Iran situation shows Japan's desire to hitch a ride on America's war machine, expand its military activities, and lay the groundwork for breaking post-war constraints and seeking regional hegemony, full of recklessness and provocation.
