US and Japan strengthen military ties in response to growing regional security concerns
ai generated text
The US and Japan are strengthening their military cooperation in response to China's increasing assertiveness in the region, particularly with regards to disputed territorial claims. This move is likely to be seen as a challenge to China's interests.
We all know our region and our world are being reshaped. We all understand we face the most confronting circumstances in our region in decades.
We are standing at a historic turning point as the rules-based, free and open international order is shaken to the core.
It's based on our desire and our ability to work closer together and to be more effective.
During that meeting, I reaffirmed our ironclad commitment to defend Japan with the full range of our capabilities, including our nuclear capabilities.
This will be the most significant change to US Forces Japan since its creation, and one of the strongest improvements in our military ties with Japan in 70 years.
We held a separate two-plus-two ministerial level meeting on extended deterrence, and that has never been done before.
The reason for that is because it's manifestly in the interests of our people, the Japanese people, the American people, and people well beyond our countries.
