+<br>Japan is one of the [closest allies](https://ytehue.com) of the United States in Asia with around 54,000 US [military personnel](https://www.odekake.kids) [stationed](https://kisokobe.sub.jp) in the [country](http://git.hnits360.com).<br>
+<br>Ishiba will be [pressing](https://gitea.hypermine.com) for peace of mind on the importance of the US-Japan alliance, as [Trump's](https://www.smashdatopic.com) "America First" program risks intruding on the [nations'](http://ohclub.ru) trade and [defence ties](https://www.inneres-kind-freiburg.de).<br>
+<br>"It would be wonderful if we could affirm that we will collaborate for the advancement this region and the world and for peace," Ishiba informed reporters in Tokyo before leaving for the [journey](https://physio-kinesis.ch).<br>
+<br>[Japan's Nikkei](http://bambuszahrada.cz) [newspaper](http://sickofwaiting.org) said Thursday the pair will [release](https://gitea.alaindee.net) a joint declaration, which might vow to build a "golden era" of [bilateral relations](https://debalzaq.com) and bring the alliance to "brand-new heights".<br>
+<br>Ishiba is  to [inform Trump](http://lemerywaterdistrict.ph) that Japan will [increase defence](https://pngbuzz.com) buy from the United States,  [wiki.eqoarevival.com](https://wiki.eqoarevival.com/index.php/User:BerndDerham7) the Nikkei said.<br>
+<br>Ishiba may also [propose importing](http://felgen-versichern.ch) more US gas-- chiming with Trump's strategy to "drill, baby, drill" while [boosting energy](https://www.shrifoam.com) [security](https://uconnect.ae) for [resource-poor Japan](https://www.stadtentwicklungsmanager.de).<br>
+<br>Since Japan has cut its melted gas (LNG) [imports](http://www.2783friends.com) from Russia, it "frantically needs to open new sources of LNG, and other energy more broadly", Sheila Smith, senior fellow at the Council on [Foreign](http://wwc.addoor.net) Relations, [informed AFP](http://fundatiayoursmile.ro).<br>
+<br>"The intention is to provide a win-win value proposition from Ishiba to the president," she said.<br>
+<br>Trump will meet Ishiba in Washington on Friday-- just days after a joint interview with [Israeli](https://allentwp.org) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, where the US [president stimulated](http://voplivetra.ru) uproar with a proposition to take control of the Gaza Strip.<br>
+<br>The Japan summit could be less startling, Smith said, as Trump "has a fairly strong commitment to the alliances in Asia".<br>

+<br>Ishiba has actually stressed the significance of US [defence](https://www.andrealaterza.com) ties, pointing to [dangers](http://webkode.ilbello.com) on [Japan's doorstep](https://www.emom.in) such as [China pushing](http://polmprojects.nl) its claims of [sovereignty](https://mixedwrestling.video) on the [self-ruled island](https://git.geekfarm.org) of Taiwan.<br>
+<br>Tokyo needs to "continue to secure the US dedication to the area, to prevent a power vacuum leading to local instability",  [visualchemy.gallery](https://visualchemy.gallery/forum/profile.php?id=4738154) Ishiba just recently [informed parliament](https://ubuntushows.com).<br>
+<br>Trump and Ishiba are [expected](https://sushian-handicrafts.ir) to affirm the importance of peace and [stability](https://git.jeckyll.net) in the Taiwan Strait, [Japanese media](https://www.transpacam.com) said.<br>
+<br>That would echo joint declarations made by the last US president Joe Biden with previous [Japanese](https://inowasia.com) prime ministers.<br>
+<br>[Concentrating](https://businessmarketfinders.com) on this point is "exceptionally essential" due to the fact that Japan and  [sciencewiki.science](https://sciencewiki.science/wiki/User:RosauraDicks94) the United States should [interact](https://www.betabreakers.com) to avoid a potential crisis, said [Takashi](https://newyorkcityfcfansclub.com) Shiraishi, a [global relations](https://www.visionsansar.com) expert at the [Prefectural University](https://500hats.edublogs.org) of [Kumamoto](https://git.jeckyll.net).<br>
+<br>As Japan and the United States renegotiate how to share the problem of defence expenses, nevertheless, there are [issues Trump](http://www.luisa-wammes.at) could offer less cash and [push Japan](https://peacebike.ngo) to do more, Smith said.<br>
+<br>"That's where ... the Ishiba-Trump relationship could get a bit sticky," she said.<br>

+<br>Also causing jitters is Trump's [determination](https://www.amdaprod.fr) to slap trade [tariffs](https://gitea.hooradev.ir) on [major trading](http://teplosetkorolev.ru) [partners](https://www.overthelux.net) China, Canada, and [Mexico--](https://www.obona.com) though he has actually [postponed measures](https://www.massmoto.it) against the latter two [nations](https://www.latolda.it) [pending talks](https://sunnyatlantic.com).<br>
+<br>"I hope Ishiba will show him there are other ways to attain financial security," such as [cooperating](https://africaskillshub.co) on innovation, [Shiraishi informed](https://brotato.wiki.spellsandguns.com) AFP.<br>

+<br>During his first term, Trump and Japan's then-prime minister Shinzo Abe delighted in [warm relations](https://autoboom.ie).<br>
+<br>As [president-elect](https://freshsites.download) in December, Trump likewise [hosted Akie](https://www.omarfangola.com) Abe, the widow of [Japan's assassinated](https://wps.itc.kansai-u.ac.jp) ex-premier, for a supper with [Melania Trump](https://lms.jolt.io) at their [Florida](https://vehiclestoragesa.co.za) [residence](http://charitableaction.com).<br>
+<br>Trump [constructed](https://healthykenya.net) a strong [relationship](https://number10massagebeautyhove.com) with Abe, for whom Smith thinks he had a "real fondness".<br>
+<br>He will likely "see Ishiba through a various lens", said Smith, and "it will be more the state-to-state relationship, not the personal".<br>
+<br>Ishiba,  [morphomics.science](https://morphomics.science/wiki/User:LawerenceWaldock) 68, will not be the first Japanese VIP to [fulfill](http://avtokraska-shop.ru) the 78-year-old Trump face to face because he took office-- a difference held by [SoftBank creator](http://mompussy.xyz) Masayoshi Son.<br>
