‘Trust me, bro’: Saifuddin Nasution tells Malaysians to have faith in him after years of confidence deficit with Home MinistryUS President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will agree next month to tighter military cooperation, including talks on the biggest potential change to Washington’s East Asia command structure in decades, two sources said.
“We are in discussion about how our planned joint command can strengthen cooperation with the US and South Korea,” Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said yesterday at a regular media briefing when asked about the reports.Kishida wants to establish the joint command headquarters before the end of March 2025. Tokyo has said it has “serious concern” over China’s growing military power and the threat it poses Taiwan, just over 100km from Japanese territory.
The White House, the US National Security Council and the State Department did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment. Japan is crucial for US military power in Asia, hosting 54,000 American troops, hundreds of aircraft and Washington’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier strike group. The bases on Japanese islands allow the United States to project military power across the region and hem in Chinese influence.
