Japan's prime minister, Shigeru Ishiba, has announced plans to invest $1 trillion into the United States, which he describes as an "unprecedented" level of investment. The statement comes after discussions with US President Donald Trump regarding defense agreements and Japan's potential investment in US Steel. Ishiba also expressed support for increased military and cyber-defense spending, despite resistance from some Japanese citizens who prioritize improving the economy. The Japan-US alliance's defense capabilities will be strengthened, with Ishiba emphasizing Japan's commitment to its own decision-making and responsibility. Additionally, the prime minister faces opposition from the Japanese people regarding collaboration with US-based AI companies instead of focusing on domestic tech development.
