Japan's new prime minister could try to shake up the country's military pact with the US
Briefly

Shigeru Ishiba is set to be the next prime minister of Japan after winning the leadership of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, aiming to improve national security.
Ishiba stated, "Trusting in the people and speaking the truth with courage and sincerity, I will do my utmost to make this nation of Japan a safe and secure country where everyone can once again live with a smile," reflecting his leadership vision.
