From the foreign sphere, as the United States' front-line fortress in the Asia-Pacific region, Japan has always been seen as a close ally of the United States, but on some issues involving the core interests of the United States, Japan has been haunted by the United States, the square agreement signed several decades ago, more a trick to crack Japan's economic prosperity bubble, and after 2008, the three sides, the Japanese-Japanese free trade zone, which had previously struck the fire, also ended up bankrupt because of the strong US intervention.

This actually proves one thing. If we want normal diplomacy with Japan and South Korea, we must first deal with the United States. However, judging from the recent trends of the United States and Japan, I am afraid that there will be a lot of difficulties in achieving this.

I really ate Trump¡¯s big cake.

According to various media reports, on October 28, U.S. President Donald Trump arrived in Tokyo and held a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Gao Zemin, the atmosphere of the talks between the two sides was very warm. Especially when it comes to relations between the two countries, U.S. President Trump has ruthlessly painted a big pie for Takashi.

The report mentioned that Trump highly praised sanae takaichi's decision to increase Japan's defense spending, and made it clear: I want you to know that whenever, no matter what problems, doubts, or what you want, what you need help, anything we can do for Japan, we will be there, because we are the strongest allies. This An affectionate confession can be regarded as setting the main tone of US-Japan relations since Trump 2.0 era, but in a sense, it is also very empty talk.

But in sharp contrast, Sanae Takaichi actually took this trick, and made a decision to invest US $550 billion in the United States in the future, including 21 major projects, mainly covering energy, AI power, AI infrastructure, rare earths, this is a major topic. Especially in the energy field, the agreement announced by Japan and the United States clearly states that, To build a large number of AP 1000 small reactors, the upper limit amount has reached 100 billion US dollars, involving many giant companies in Japan and the United States. Once successful, they may "renovate" the infrastructure of the United States to solve the "root cause" that Trump is facing today.

What kind of reality is reflected behind it?

From a political point of view, the reason why Trump is so close to Takashi Saami is largely due to Takashi himself inheriting Shinzo Abe's important political legacy, which led to his nickname of "Female Abe" in Japan's political circles. This has also led to the high-market early-size behavior in contact with Trump, both in climbing relationships and in talking about business, can catch the "point" that Trump wants.

In other words, during this round of meeting between the heads of state of Japan and the United States, it is probably not the high market that coaxed, but U.S. President Trump, who has eyes for all US$550 billion in investment, because ever since he came to power, Trump has been interested in allies 'large-scale investments in the United States, and has repeatedly asked them to open factories in the United States or invest in infrastructure.

And even so far, South Korea is still very worried about investing in the United States, and believes that it is uncertain that these investments will get their due returns. But the refreshing sanae takaichi is obviously more of Trump's appetite.
