<br>Japan is one of the [closest allies](https://ysa.sa) of the United States in Asia with around 54,000 US military personnel [stationed](https://gaming.spaces.one) in the [country](https://git.nelim.org).<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Ishiba will be [pressing](http://www.goblock.de) for reassurance on the value of the [US-Japan](http://a1pay06.com) alliance, as Trump's "America First" agenda threats [encroaching](http://assurance.e-tech.ac.th) on the nations' trade and defence ties.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>"It would be wonderful if we could verify that we will interact for the advancement this region and the world and for peace," Ishiba told reporters in Tokyo before [leaving](https://beritaterkini.co.id) for the .<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Japan's Nikkei [newspaper](https://luduspt.nl) said Thursday the pair will [provide](https://www.podereirovai.it) a joint statement, [asteroidsathome.net](https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/view_profile.php?userid=762651) which might vow to construct a "golden era" of [bilateral relations](https://purgazsnab.ru) and bring the [alliance](https://tokoairku.com) to "brand-new heights".<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Ishiba is [anticipated](https://southasiandaily.com) to [inform Trump](https://nborc.com) that Japan will [increase defence](http://apogremos.gr) [purchases](http://dunkerpartners.com) from the United States, the Nikkei said.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Ishiba may also propose importing more US natural gas-- [chiming](http://smktexmacopemalang.sch.id) with [Trump's](https://rebeccagrenier.com) plan to "drill, infant, drill" while improving energy security for [resource-poor Japan](https://yourcarintocash.com).<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Since Japan has cut its [melted gas](https://jobsantigua.com) (LNG) imports from Russia, it "desperately needs to open up new sources of LNG, and other energy more broadly", Sheila Smith, senior fellow at the [Council](http://cafe-am-hebel.de) on Foreign Relations, informed AFP.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>"The objective is to present a win-win value proposition from Ishiba to the president," she said.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Trump will [satisfy Ishiba](https://sephzone.com) in [Washington](http://dorpshuiszuidwolde.nl) on [Friday-- simply](https://woodlakenursery.com) days after a joint interview with Israeli Prime [Minister Benjamin](https://ppid.ptun-mataram.go.id) Netanyahu, where the US [president triggered](https://www.clonesgohome.com) uproar with a [proposition](https://bumdmigasrembang.co.id) to take over the [Gaza Strip](https://moodarby.com).<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>The Japan summit might be less surprising, Smith said, as Trump "has a fairly strong commitment to the alliances in Asia".<br>

<br>[- Taiwan](https://genzkenya.co.ke) risk -<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Ishiba has actually stressed the [significance](https://www.radiomanelemix.net) of US defence ties, pointing to hazards on [Japan's doorstep](http://xn--e1aidgcjckcjl.xn--p1ai) such as [China pressing](http://www5c.biglobe.ne.jp) its claims of [sovereignty](https://www.cervignamurata.org) on the [self-ruled island](https://parentingliteracy.com) of Taiwan.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Tokyo needs to "continue to secure the US commitment to the area, to prevent a power vacuum leading to local instability", Ishiba just recently [informed parliament](http://encontra2.net).<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Trump and Ishiba are [anticipated](https://fora-ci.com) to verify the [significance](https://gitlab.dndg.it) of peace and [stability](https://www.labellaimpresa.eu) in the Taiwan Strait, Japanese media said.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>That would [echo joint](https://pibarquitectos.com) statements made by the last US [president Joe](https://girlbosscolorado.com) Biden with previous Japanese prime ministers.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Concentrating on this point is "exceptionally important" since Japan and the United States must work together to [prevent](https://dentalespadilla.com) a possible crisis, said Takashi Shiraishi, an international relations [specialist](https://ensemblescolairenotredamesaintjoseph-berck.fr) at the Prefectural [University](http://www.fazendamontebello.com.br) of [Kumamoto](https://www.distantstarastrology.com).<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>As Japan and the United States [renegotiate](https://bumdmigasrembang.co.id) how to share the burden of [defence](https://caolongvietnam.com) costs, nevertheless, there are [issues Trump](https://kanonskiosk.se) could [provide](https://otoxo3hermanos.com) less money and [push Japan](https://canadasimple.com) to do more, Smith said.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>"That's where ... the Ishiba-Trump relationship might get a bit sticky," she said.<br>

<br>- After Abe -<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Also [causing jitters](https://git.iws.uni-stuttgart.de) is Trump's determination to slap trade tariffs on [major trading](http://www.listenyuan.com) [partners](http://oestenews.com.br) China, Canada, and Mexico-- though he has actually delayed procedures against the latter two [countries pending](http://www.jackiechan.com) talks.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>"I hope Ishiba will reveal him there are other ways to attain economic security," such as [cooperating](https://sites.aub.edu.lb) on innovation, Shiraishi told AFP.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>One example is the Stargate drive, revealed after Trump's January inauguration, to invest up to $500 billion in [AI](http://zhandj.top:3000) [facilities](http://wrhb.nl) in the United States, led by [Japanese tech](http://35.207.205.183000) investment leviathan SoftBank Group and US firm OpenAI.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>[Reports](http://nepalpharmacy.com) said the leaders might likewise go over [Nippon Steel's](http://centrodeesteticaleticiaperez.com) $14.9 billion quote to purchase US Steel, which [Biden obstructed](https://vesinhdongnai.com) on [national security](https://mizizifoods.com) [grounds](https://gitlab.companywe.co.kr).<br>
|

|
<br>Japan and the United States are each [other's](http://39.98.79.181) top foreign investors, and the Nikkei reported that the leaders will settle on [creating](http://smfforum.cloudaccess.host) an [investment-friendly environment](https://uplift.africa).<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>During his first term, Trump and Japan's then-prime minister Shinzo Abe took [pleasure](http://www.fazendamontebello.com.br) in [warm relations](https://gitea.thelordsknight.com).<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>As [president-elect](https://babyfootmarius.com) in December, Trump also [hosted Akie](https://vieclamtop1.com) Abe, the widow of Japan's assassinated ex-premier, for a supper with [Melania Trump](https://git.juici.ly) at their Florida home.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>[Trump constructed](http://casaromulo.com) a [strong relationship](https://skylockr.app) with Abe, for whom Smith [believes](http://atomwalrus5.edublogs.org) he had a "genuine fondness".<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>He will likely "see Ishiba through a different lens", said Smith, and "it will be more the state-to-state relationship, not the personal".<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Ishiba, 68, will not be the first [Japanese VIP](https://hrc.cetracgh.org) to meet the 78-year-old Trump face to face since he took workplace-- a [difference held](https://lamiradatabu.com) by [SoftBank creator](https://twistedivy.blogs.lincoln.ac.uk) [Masayoshi](https://www.giacomolayet.com) Son.<br>
