Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba will visit the United States today (7 February 2025) and will hold talks with U.S. President Donald Trump. Japanese veteran journalist Akio Yaita wrote on Facebook that the only issue that Ishiba, who has always been weak on China policy and is regarded as "pro-China" by domestic and foreign media, can reach an agreement with the United States and is not opposed by Japan is the Taiwan Strait. The joint statement after the talks with Trump will definitely mention the Taiwan Strait, and it is very likely that there will be statements that China does not like.

Akiro Yaita said that after Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and finally held a U.S.-Japan summit, Ishiba finally felt relieved. The order of the meeting "was not ranked behind dictators such as Xi Jinping, Putin, and Kim Jong-un", which can be regarded as saving the face of "the closest ally of the United States." Interestingly, before leaving, Ishiba told the Japanese media that he would discuss the Taiwan issue with Trump. He said, "We know that President Trump is very concerned about Taiwan."

Yaita Akio emphasized, "President Trump has rarely talked about Taiwan in recent months. How did Ishiba know that Trump is very concerned about Taiwan? The answer is also very simple. It must be that Mrs. Akie, the wife of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, told him. Before taking office, President Trump specially invited Mrs. Abe to his home and had dinner together. A lot of things must have been discussed during the meal. Although Mrs. Abe did not disclose the content of the conversation to the media afterwards, she must have made a detailed report to Prime Minister Ishiba."

Yaita Akio analyzed: "Former Prime Minister Abe and Prime Minister Ishiba were long-term political enemies in the past, but when it comes to national affairs, Mrs. Abe still puts the overall situation first. It was with Mrs. Abe's various suggestions that Prime Minister Ishiba was able to sit on the plane to Washington with peace of mind this time. I believe that Mrs. Abe, a ‘good friend of Taiwan’, must have said a lot of good things about Taiwan in front of President Trump and Prime Minister Ishiba. ”

Yaita Akio pointed out: “Therefore, I think President Trump and Prime Minister Ishiba will definitely mention the Taiwan Strait in the joint statement after the talks. And it is very likely that there will be statements that China does not like, such as ‘opposing unilateral use of force to change the status quo’. Prime Minister Ishiba, who is in the minority in Japan, will find it difficult to make concessions on increasing the defense budget and opening up the Japanese market. ”

Yaita Akio continued: “Even if concessions are made, they will definitely be rejected by Congress after returning home. Therefore, the only issue that can be agreed with the United States and not opposed by Japan should be the Taiwan Strait. Since taking office, Prime Minister Ishiba, who has always been weak in China policy and is regarded as a “pro-China faction” by domestic and foreign media, hopes that this visit to the United States will disappoint China once. Prime Minister Ishiba, come on!”
