Overview

Since President Trump’s election, Japanese Prime Minister Abe has succeeded in forging a good relationship with the new administration. Contrary to initial concerns from Tokyo, the White House has reaffirmed the importance of the U.S.-Japan security alliance, and U.S. military commitment in East Asia. As for economic ties, the Trump administration has acknowledged the benefits of trading with Japan. Nevertheless, worries about the future of Japan’s relations with the United States persist.
