(Tokyo Composite Electric) Japan and the United States are negotiating for arms to provide more arms to Ukraine and increase Japan's maintenance services provided by US warships and fighters.
The Japanese Yomiram News Sunday (March 10) quoted unnamed government sources say that Japan and the United States hope to reach this agreement before the two countries will be held next month.
Japan's Prime Minister Kishita and US President Bynden expects Japan to help Japan can help expand the US military library at a summit in Washington.The United States hopes to fulfill its commitment to provide Ukraine with weapons that can repel the invasion of the Russian army, but American weapons manufacturers are facing challenges in the production of various weapons needed by Ukraine.
The restrictions on the post -war peace constitution in Japan have only provided non -weapon assistance to Ukraine, including billions of dollars of funding assistance and loan guarantees worth billions of dollars.If Japan relaxes the restrictions on military exports, it will help the United States and European countries to transport weapons to Ukraine in the short term.In the long run, it may also expand Japan's opportunities to sell weapons overseas.
In December last year, the Japanese government announced that it would allow Japan to be allowed to be allowed to produce weapons to patent holdings, and can export Patriot missiles produced in Japan. This will increase the number of Patriot missiles available in the United States and make the United States.Can more flexibly support Ukraine's defense airspace.
Yomiuri News also said that Kishida and Biden are expected to accelerate the complementary and mutually beneficial relationship between the two countries and try to strengthen the military supply chain between the two countries to cope with China.
It is reported that Tokyo and Washington also considers the expansion of Japanese companies' regular arrangements for US military repair, and is expected to be included in the agenda agenda.
Yomiuri News said that the participants of this project may include the Seventh Fleet in the United States and other cutting-edge naval ships deployed to Japan and the F-35A fighter.This will shorten the maintenance cycle of the U.S. military, while helping Tokyo to strengthen military production and technology.
But such a move may have political risks for Biden, especially in the election year, because the Bayeng government may face criticism of the US employment opportunities to Japan.
