"Through this visit, we hope to build a strong relationship of trust with the new US administration and take the US-Japan alliance to new heights," he added. However, Trump in December hosted Akie Abe - the widow of Japan's assassinated former prime minister Shinzo Abe - for a private dinner with Melania Trump at their Florida residence."As the balance of power in the region undergoes a historic change, we must deepen Japan-US cooperation further, in a concrete manner," Ishiba told parliament.
His comments underscored jitters over China's military build-up in the Asia-Pacific and Trump's"America First" policies, which may include demanding that allies such as Japan shoulder a larger proportion of defence costs.Also in December - ahead of Ishiba - Masayoshi Son, head of Japanese tech investor SoftBank, stood beside Trump to announce a US$100 billion investment in the US.
