US-Japan Summit Meeting and Trade Agreement Signed Today! Takayuki Hayashi is waiting at the Guest House for the US President's arrival!
On the morning of October 28, Takayuki Hayashi arrived early at the Guest House in Minato City, Tokyo, to participate in the Japan-US summit meeting with the US President.
The content of the meeting this morning, according to Takayuki Hayashi, aims to strengthen cooperation on security issues, while the US President said: "I look forward to discussing how to further strengthen the great Japan-US alliance."
It is predicted that, since the president has long stated that allied countries are not bearing enough burden in terms of security, this meeting will ask Japan to commit to fundamentally strengthening its defense capabilities.
Japan plans to respond by starting research on revising three security-related documents, including the National Security Strategy, with the goal of completing them by next year, while moving up the original target of reaching 2% of GDP for defense spending and related funds from 2027 to this year.
In addition, during the meeting, both sides will also exchange opinions on fulfilling previous agreements on tariff negotiations. After the meeting, a signing ceremony between the two heads of state will be held.
At the signing ceremony, it is expected that the continued progress of the $550 billion investment in the United States will be confirmed in writing.
