The Future of Japan-US Relations Based on the Results of the US Presidential Election (Mr. Tetsuo KOTANI, Professor, Faculty of Language and Cultures, Meikai University/Senior Fellow, The Japan Institute of International Affairs)

post date : 2024.10.30

Polls regarding the upcoming US presidential election on November 5 have shown support for Democratic Party candidate Vice-President Kamala Harris and Republican Party candidate former President Donald Trump to be neck and neck, and a very close race is predicted.

 

The FPCJ has invited  Meikai University Professor Tetsuo Kotani, a senior fellow at The Japan Institute of International Affairs and an expert in international relations, particularly US and East Asian security policy, to discuss the future of Japan-US relations based on the results of the US presidential election, including how the new American administration will impact Japan-US relations and how that will affect what role Japan should play.


Please note that you cannot physically attend this briefing, as it will be a Zoom webinar.

 

FPCJ supporting members and embassy representatives may also participate in the briefing as observers (admission free).
