Overview
Expectations for strong ties between the United States and Japan continue to rise amid growing concerns about North Korea’s military aspirations. But both President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe are facing considerable challenges to their leadership at home.

Join us for a discussion on the outlook for Washington and Tokyo cooperation and how the current situation compares with the leadership of President Ronald Reagan on the one hand, and Japan under Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone and Junichiro Koizumi on the other.
