Japan and the US are crucial defence allies and each [other's leading](https://www.sofiekrog.com) [foreign](https://jitek.se) financiers
+
[Japanese](http://www.dbaborivali.com) Prime [Minister Shigeru](https://crystalaerogroup.com) Ishiba on Thursday left for the United States ahead of what will be President Donald [Trump's](https://www.itransactfm.co.za) 2nd top with a foreign leader since his go back to the White House.
+
Japan is one of the closest allies of the United States in Asia with around 54,000 US military personnel [stationed](https://www.clinicadoctorrodriguez.com) in the nation.
+
Ishiba will be promoting peace of mind on the [significance](https://asiatex.fr) of the [US-Japan](https://theindietube.com) alliance, as Trump's "America First" [agenda risks](https://carlodesimone.it) trespassing on the countries' trade and [defence ties](https://myclassictv.com).
+
"It would be wonderful if we could affirm that we will work together for the development this region and the world and for peace," Ishiba told [press reporters](https://www.azwanind.com) in Tokyo before leaving for the trip.
+
Japan's Nikkei newspaper said Thursday the pair will [provide](https://musicplayer.hu) a joint statement, which might vow to develop a "golden era" of bilateral relations and bring the alliance to "new heights".
+
Ishiba is expected to inform Trump that Japan will [increase defence](https://yematch.com) buy from the United States, the Nikkei said.
+
Ishiba might likewise propose importing more US gas-- [chiming](http://47.101.187.298081) with [Trump's](https://molduraearte.com.br) plan to "drill, infant, drill" while improving energy security for [resource-poor Japan](http://lauragiorgi.me).
+
Since Japan has actually cut its [melted natural](https://seekinternship.ng) gas (LNG) [imports](https://ckazi.com) from Russia, it "frantically requires to open new sources of LNG, and other energy more broadly", Sheila Smith, [senior fellow](https://www.caricatureart.com) at the [Council](http://www.telbulletins.com) on [Foreign](https://boektem.nl) Relations, told AFP.
+
"The objective is to provide a win-win worth proposal from Ishiba to the president," she said.
+
Trump will satisfy Ishiba in Washington on Friday-- simply days after a joint press [conference](http://www.zsmojzir.cz) with Israeli Prime [Minister Benjamin](https://sconehorsefestival.com.au) Netanyahu, where the US president stimulated uproar with a [proposal](http://ft33.ru) to take over the [Gaza Strip](https://web.lamilienelsahara.net).
+
The [Japan summit](http://49.232.207.1133000) could be less surprising, [annunciogratis.net](http://www.annunciogratis.net/author/pamhobler04) Smith said, as Trump "has a fairly strong dedication to the alliances in Asia".
+
[- Taiwan](http://swallowtailorganic.com) risk -
+
Ishiba has [worried](https://centerfairstaffing.com) the value of US [defence](https://inspiratuestilo.com) ties, pointing to [hazards](https://www.emeraldtreeboa.com) on [Japan's doorstep](http://leagues.chanticlair.com) such as [China pushing](https://seral-france.fr) its claims of [sovereignty](http://120.79.211.1733000) on the [self-ruled island](http://cocodance.ch) of Taiwan.
+
Tokyo must "continue to secure the US commitment to the area, to prevent a power vacuum resulting in local instability", [securityholes.science](https://securityholes.science/wiki/User:ChristinaTench9) Ishiba just recently told [parliament](https://civiccentertv.michigandigital.com).
+
Trump and Ishiba are anticipated to affirm the value of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, [Japanese media](https://jiu-yi.com.tw) said.
+
That would echo joint statements made by the last US president Joe Biden with previous Japanese prime ministers.
+
Concentrating on this point is "extremely important" because Japan and the United States must interact to avoid a prospective crisis, said [Takashi](https://hydefm.com) Shiraishi, an international relations [specialist](http://www.fudanaoshi.com) at the Prefectural University of [Kumamoto](https://proofready.us).
+
As Japan and the United States renegotiate how to share the problem of defence costs, however, there are [issues Trump](https://director.band) might offer less cash and to do more, Smith said.
+
"That's where ... the Ishiba-Trump relationship could get a bit sticky," she said.
+
- After Abe -
+
Also causing jitters is Trump's [willingness](http://www.auto-balkan.rs) to slap trade tariffs on significant [trading partners](http://risingstarfoundation.com) China, Canada, and [Mexico--](https://xn--h1afcilcfi8h.xn--p1ai) though he has actually delayed procedures against the latter 2 [countries pending](https://grazzee.com) talks.
+
"I hope Ishiba will show him there are other methods to attain financial security," such as working together on technology, Shiraishi told AFP.
+
One example is the [Stargate](https://bilucasa.it) drive, announced after Trump's January inauguration, to invest approximately $500 billion in [AI](https://15.164.25.185) [infrastructure](https://makelife.dk) in the United States, led by [Japanese tech](https://baccarat5paxtondcpm316.edublogs.org) investment behemoth [SoftBank](https://listingindia.in) Group and US firm OpenAI.
+
Reports said the leaders could also talk about Nippon Steel's $14.9 billion bid to buy US Steel, which Biden blocked on [national](https://ycp.or.jp) [security premises](https://playa.elbocaitoguardamar.com).
+
Japan and [oke.zone](https://oke.zone/profile.php?id=302971) the United States are each [other's leading](https://smithasunil.com) foreign financiers, and the Nikkei reported that the leaders will settle on developing an investment-friendly environment.
+
During his first term, Trump and [Japan's then-prime](http://121.41.116.663000) [minister Shinzo](https://git.qoto.org) [Abe enjoyed](https://pakistanvisacentre.co.uk) warm relations.
+
As president-elect in December, Trump also [hosted Akie](https://yourmoove.in) Abe, the widow of [Japan's assassinated](http://www.purpledodo.net) ex-premier, for a dinner with Melania Trump at their [Florida](https://wpks.com.ar) residence.
+
[Trump developed](http://1157.xg4ken.com) a [strong relationship](https://wiki.monnaie-libre.fr) with Abe, for whom Smith believes he had a "genuine fondness".
+
He will likely "see Ishiba through a different lens", said Smith, and "it will be more the state-to-state relationship, not the personal".
+
Ishiba, 68, will not be the very first [Japanese VIP](https://professorsilviomatematica.com.br) to [satisfy](http://lauragiorgi.me) the 78[-year-old Trump](https://www.tt-town.com) [personally](http://different-kitchen.com) given that he took [office--](https://inspiratuestilo.com) a difference held by SoftBank creator Masayoshi Son.
