Japan's Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, is set to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington for her first time. This will be her first meeting after leading the ruling Liberal Democratic Party to victory in February, marking her largest electoral win since World War II. The topic of Iran is expected to dominate the meeting, with experts suggesting that the Japan-US alliance is crucial to Japan's security and stability. However, no countries have publicly committed to supporting Trump's efforts, despite the country's constitution allowing for limited 'collective self-defense' under its constitution. If Takaich agrees to deploy Japanese assets to the Middle East, she may face a high price in political capital.
