The CSIS Japan Chair, in collaboration with Japan Center for Economic Research (JCER), cordially invites you to Outlook for U.S.-Japan Relations: Perspectives from Japanese Legislators.
U.S.-Japan relations have been in the international spotlight in 2025, from the February summit between President Trump and Prime Minister Ishiba to last week's tariff talks. Join us on Monday, April 28th for a discussion with Japanese legislators — Itsunori Onodera, Former Minister of Defense and Shinjiro Koizumi, Former Minister of the Environment — on the outlook for U.S.-Japan relations in the weeks and months ahead, including the impact of U.S. tariffs, regional security challenges, Japan's defense capacity build-up, and changes in domestic politics in both countries.
This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
