TOKYO - US Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs David Stilwell will visit Japan, the Philippines, South Korea and Thailand starting Thursday to July 19, the State Department

said Tuesday.

During the Asian tour, Stilwell is expected to focus on ways to strengthen cooperation with the four allies in advancing a vision for a free and open Indo-Pacific and addressing regional issues such as denuclearization of North Korea and China's militarization of the South China Sea. Trump has criticized what he sees as a one-sided security treaty with Japan. "If Japan is attacked, we will fight World War III...but if we're attacked, Japan doesn't have to help us at all. They can watch it on a Sony television, the attack," he told Fox Business Network last month.

In Manila next Monday and Tuesday, Stilwell and Randall Schriver, assistant secretary of defense for Indo-Pacific security affairs, will attend a U.S.-Philippine strategic dialogue, according to the department.
