Trump expects Japan's military to reinforce UnitedStates in Asia and beyond

TOKYO - President Donald Trump expects that Japan's military will reinforce US forces throughout Asia and elsewhere, he said on Tuesday , as the key US ally upgrades the ability of its forces to operate further from its shores.

"With this extraordinary new equipment, the Kaga will help our nations defend against a range of complex threats in the region and far beyond," Mr Trump said in a speech on the ship's hangar deck. He also wants to revise the post-World War Two charter to recognise the existence of Japan's military. On Monday, he told a news conference that Washington supported Japan's efforts to improve its defence capability and touted Tokyo's purchases of American military equipment.
