Japan intends to increase defense spending by a “significant amount”. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced the upcoming increase in costs.
At a time when tensions in the region’s security are growing, “the US president and I reaffirmed the need to strengthen the Japanese-American alliance,” he informed at a press conference following the results of the US-Japan bilateral summit.
“I expressed a decision to radically strengthen Japan’s defense capability,” Kishida said, indicating an increase in defense spending by a significant amount as a support. “President Biden supported this decision,” the head of the Japanese cabinet added.
