In remarks to reporters, Rubio also disputed reports of U.S. pressure on Japan to significantly increase its defense spending, saying that while Washington was “encouraging” Tokyo to invest in certain capabilities, this did not amount to a “demand.” “It’s less to do with the amount of money and more to do about certain things they can do,“ he said after attending a regional meeting in Malaysia.
Asked about Ishiba’s remarks, Rubio said the United States has “a very strong and very good relationship with Japan, and that’s not going to change.”
He said Ishiba's comment should not be viewed negatively.
Christopher Johnstone, a former Biden White House official now with the Asia Group consultancy, said trade frictions, pressure on defense spending, and uncertainty about U.S. defense commitments meant U.S.-Japan tensions were probably at their worst in a generation, but reducing Tokyo's reliance on the U.S. was easier said than done.
