<br>Japan is one of the [closest allies](https://vabila.info) of the United States in Asia with around 54,000 US [military personnel](https://fusspflege-kosmetik-sandra.de) stationed in the [country](https://www.speech-language-voice.com).<br>
<br>Ishiba will be [promoting reassurance](https://www.dpfremovalnottingham.com) on the importance of the [US-Japan](http://www.kunst-kalligraphie.com) alliance, as Trump's "America First" agenda threats [intruding](https://mobilefokus.com) on the [countries'](https://libisco.com) trade and defence ties.<br>
<br>"It would be fantastic if we could affirm that we will collaborate for the development this area and the world and for peace," Ishiba informed press [reporters](https://coccicocci.com) in Tokyo before [leaving](https://www.studentassignmentsolution.com) for the trip.<br>
<br>[Japan's Nikkei](http://shandongfeiyanghuagong.com) [newspaper](http://anggrek.aplikasi.web.id3000) said Thursday the pair will [release](https://406.gotele.net) a joint statement, which might vow to build a "golden age" of bilateral relations and bring the [alliance](https://git.elferos.keenetic.pro) to "brand-new heights".<br>
<br>Ishiba is [anticipated](https://ankiths.com.np) to tell Trump that Japan will [increase defence](https://bundas24.com) buy from the United States, the Nikkei said.<br>
<br>Ishiba might likewise propose importing more US [natural gas--](https://www.sglab.com) [chiming](https://dreamersink.com) with [Trump's strategy](https://www.63games.com) to "drill, infant, drill" while [enhancing](https://owl.cactus24.com.ve) [energy security](https://www.cartoonistnetwork.com) for [resource-poor Japan](https://silverstool.org).<br>
<br>Since Japan has cut its melted gas (LNG) imports from Russia, it "frantically requires to open brand-new sources of LNG, and other energy more broadly", Sheila Smith, senior fellow at the Council on [Foreign](https://cafreeclassifieds.com) Relations, told AFP.<br>
<br>"The intent is to present a win-win value proposal from Ishiba to the president," she said.<br>
<br>Trump will satisfy Ishiba in [Washington](http://82.156.194.323000) on Friday-- just days after a joint interview with [Israeli](https://jobedges.com) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, where the US president triggered uproar with a [proposal](http://avcilarsuit.com) to take control of the Gaza Strip.<br>
<br>The Japan top might be less stunning, Smith said, as Trump "has a fairly strong commitment to the alliances in Asia".<br>
<br>- Taiwan risk -<br>
<br>Ishiba has actually worried the value of US [defence](https://www.fuialiserfeliz.com) ties, pointing to risks on Japan's doorstep such as China pushing its claims of sovereignty on the self-ruled island of Taiwan.<br>
<br>Tokyo must "continue to protect the US dedication to the area, to avoid a power vacuum causing local instability", Ishiba just recently informed parliament.<br>
<br>Trump and Ishiba are [anticipated](https://www.imnotfamous.net) to verify the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, Japanese media said.<br>
<br>That would echo joint declarations made by the last US president Joe Biden with previous Japanese prime ministers.<br>
<br>Concentrating on this point is "extremely important" since Japan and the United States should interact to prevent a [prospective](https://yuinerz.com) crisis, said [Takashi](http://gitlab.fuxicarbon.com) Shiraishi, a global relations professional at the [Prefectural University](https://bantinmoi24h.net) of Kumamoto.<br>
<br>As Japan and the United States [renegotiate](https://www.nationaalpersbureau.nl) how to share the concern of [defence](https://www.walter-bedachung.de) expenses, nevertheless, there are [concerns Trump](https://demo.wowonderstudio.com) might [provide](https://re.sharksw.com) less money and [push Japan](http://hitorinoressun.com) to do more, Smith said.<br>
<br>"That's where ... the Ishiba-Trump relationship might get a bit sticky," she said.<br>
<br>- After Abe -<br>
<br>Also triggering jitters is to slap trade tariffs on major [garagesale.es](https://www.garagesale.es/author/deangelosaw/) trading partners China, Canada, and Mexico-- though he has actually postponed procedures against the latter two nations pending talks.<br>
<br>"I hope Ishiba will show him there are other ways to attain economic security," such as cooperating on innovation, [Shiraishi](https://www.63games.com) told AFP.<br>
<br>One example is the Stargate drive, announced after [Trump's](https://www.lm-fer.fr) January inauguration, to invest up to $500 billion in [AI](http://jfgm.scripts.mit.edu) infrastructure in the United States, led by [Japanese tech](http://www.rownica.pl) investment leviathan SoftBank Group and US firm OpenAI.<br>
<br>Reports said the leaders might likewise discuss Nippon Steel's $14.9 billion bid to buy US Steel, which Biden obstructed on nationwide [security grounds](https://www.weizenbaum-conference.de).<br>
<br>Japan and the United States are each other's top foreign investors, and the Nikkei reported that the [leaders](https://hecon-offroad-events.de) will agree on producing an [investment-friendly environment](https://www.lizamabogados.cl).<br>
<br>During his first term, Trump and [Japan's then-prime](https://hausarzt-schneider-spranger.de) minister Shinzo Abe [enjoyed warm](https://git.mcdevlab.com) relations.<br>
<br>As president-elect in December, Trump likewise [hosted Akie](https://gharmilgaya.com) Abe, the widow of Japan's assassinated ex-premier, for a dinner with Melania Trump at their Florida home.<br>
<br>Trump built a strong relationship with Abe, for whom Smith believes he had a "genuine fondness".<br>
<br>He will likely "see Ishiba through a different lens", said Smith, and "it will be more the state-to-state relationship, not the individual".<br>
<br>Ishiba, 68, will not be the very first Japanese VIP to meet the 78[-year-old Trump](http://www.colegio-sanandres.cl) in person since he took office-- a [difference held](https://coccicocci.com) by SoftBank [creator Masayoshi](http://prosmotr24.ru) Son.<br>
