The two leaders are expected to discuss plans to restructure the US military presence in Japan in the face of perceived threats in the Asia-Pacific region, especially from China and North Korea. According to White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, the two leaders are expected to 'announce measures to enhance security cooperation, to enable greater coordination and integration of our forces.'
"Our nations are partners in a world where we choose creation over destruction, peace over bloodshed, and democracy over autocracy," Jill Biden told reporters during a preview of Wednesday's state dinner. The summit officially begins on Wednesday with a welcome including military bands, which will be followed by a meeting between Biden and Kishida.
