U.S President Trump- Japan PM Ishiba Declare Senkaku Islands Under NATO Defense, Tariff Threats Loom

US President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba have declared that the disputed Senkaku Islands fall under NATO’s collective defense.

The move heightens tensions with China, which claims the islands as its own.

During their meeting, Trump also threatened tariffs on Japanese goods if the trade deficit isn’t balanced.

Ishiba, seeking stronger ties, praised Trump’s leadership and pledged increased US investments and defense purchases.

As Washington and Tokyo reaffirm their alliance, the growing geopolitical rift with Beijing adds uncertainty to regional stability.
