Instructions on how to join this virtual meeting will be sent the day before the program.
The critical U.S.-Japan relationship is buttressed by strong economic, political, and military ties. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s deft handling of his personal relationship with U.S. President Donald Trump insulated the bilateral relationship from some of the turmoil that other close U.S. allies have experienced. Abe’s resignation brings a new political leader to the fore in Japan – Yoshihide Suga. Additionally, following the November election, former Vice President Joe Biden is now set to be the next President of the United States. This could radically alter U.S. foreign, security, and economic policies. What does the U.S.-Japan relationship look like under the new prime minister and president – and how will these changes in the relationship affect Washington State’s strong economic and political ties with Japan? A panel of experts featuring American and Japanese perspectives will convene to discuss the role and nature of the U.S.-Japan security alliance and economic relationship, plus the benefits it affords to Americans and Japanese both nationally and locally within the Washington State region.
This event is part of Sasakawa USA’s The Alliance Working in America Series (TAWA) and will be held in partnership with the World Affairs Council of Seattle and the World Affairs Councils of America. Join the World Affairs Council of Seattle, the Sasakawa Peace Foundation USA, and the World Affairs Councils of America for a discussion on a national look at the U.S.-Japan alliance, as well as a local look at how the alliance is impacting Washington State.
