trump administration: As international economics and geopolitics become more explicitly intertwined, Japan has been increasingly visible and active in global affairs, according to The Japan Times. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's diplomacy in the Middle East and strengthened ties with Russia and India are the most obvious signs of this shift. Experts are evaluating the Trump administration's use of tariffs and sanctions as tools of foreign policy, and multinational corporations, international financial institutions, and even governments are recalibrating to their effect on markets. But perhaps more significantly, Japan's overseas investment has provided an alternative to Chinese development financing. ; Antagonism between the United States and China puts Japan in a unique position. Abe and U.S. President Donald Trump are united in the view that strengthening and deepening the U.S.-Japan alliance will be essential to counter China's maritime, economic and technological influence, but they also agree that a creative and comprehensive approach is required to offset China's growing prowess in these areas. In the Japan-U.S. trade talks, to begin in full after Japan's Upper House election in July, American negotiators will likely raise the need to change Japan's global investment strategy in order to meet the growing challenge from China.
