Upon his arrival in Tokyo, U.S. Ambassador George Glass emphasized the need for increased defense cooperation between the United States and Japan due to increasing Chinese aggression. Japan is currently enhancing its military capabilities and working closely with Washington to align defense strategies. Furthermore, Glass expressed optimism about resolving trade negotiations following tariffs imposed during the Trump administration. He underscored the strategic partnership between the two nations, emphasizing the importance of their alliance in maintaining stability in an area with threats from China, Russia, and North Korea.
"I've met now with most of the principals who are in the room and doing the negotiating... I'm extremely optimistic that a deal will get done."
"We sit with Japan in a very tough neighborhood. You have Russia, you have China, and you have North Korea... we need to push back against a country like China."
