On Feb. 13, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi became just the fourth foreign leader to visit the White House to meet with President Donald Trump. Modi, whom Trump referred to during the visit as "a great friend," arrived to much fanfare as the two leaders heralded the historically strong and vibrant U.S.-India strategic partnership.

EDITORIAL: Japan must decide on scale of defense buildup, not Trump
NATO has set a new goal for member nations regarding defense spending, including related expenses, by raising the objective from the former 2 percent of gross domestic product to 5 percent. The move is in response to arguments made by the Trump administration, which has also indicated the need for a similar increase on the part of Asian allies of the United States, including Japan. In the postwar era, Japan's defense spending had been kept at about 1 percent of GDP, but in late 2022 then Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced a comprehensive strengthening of defense capabilities. The Kishida Cabinet decided to increase defense spending, including related expenses, over a five-year period to eventually reach 2 percent of GDP. In the current fiscal year budget, defense spending totaled 9.9 trillion yen ($68.6 billion), which translates to 1.8 percent of GDP. But the government has still not decided when to increase income taxes to partially pay for the added expenditures. There are reports that Washington has informally asked the government to set a specific numerical goal of 3.5 percent of GDP for defense spending, excluding related expenses. That can only be described as an outrageous request. Japan must play the leading role in determining the scale of its defense capabilities. The current goal of 2 percent was decided on because it coincided with the then NATO standard despite the differences in the national security environment and historical developments with Japan. The pledge made by Kishida in 2022 to decide on the contents, budget and revenues for Japan's defense buildup as a single set has not been fulfilled. As a result, there is the possibility that equipment with a dubious cost-effectiveness might be included. The administration demonstrated irresponsibility through insufficient Diet deliberations and by putting off how to secure stable revenue sources even while it faced very serious fiscal circumstances. At a recent news conference, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said while there was a need for greater communication with the United States, he added that Japan would decide for itself what it required without being held to a monetary amount beforehand. It remains to be seen if he can maintain that stance. While NATO responded to the demands made by U.S. President Donald Trump, only about 20 of the 32 member nations have attained the 2-percent goal. It is clear that member nations hold different positions based on their recognition of the threat posed by Russia as well as their fiscal circumstances. Despite the new goal, it is uncertain if member nations can achieve it. There is obviously a need for a defense buildup by Japan considering the situation in East Asia where China is making maritime advances and building up its defense arsenal while North Korea is developing nuclear weapons and missiles. Allies and friendly nations will also be called on to augment the relative decline in the national strength of the United States. But expanding defense spending beyond what is possible will not be sustainable and raise concerns about greater instability in the daily lives of the people. There is also the danger that it could lead to an endless arms race with neighboring nations and damage regional stability. Attention must be focused on constructing a comprehensive strategy that balances diplomatic efforts with the strengthening of deterrence. --The Asahi Shimbun, June 30

Japan Survey Finds Only 22% of Respondents Trust U.S.; Significant Drop From Joint Poll After Election
A nationwide poll by The Yomiuri Shimbun found that only 22% of respondents 'trust' the United States, with 3% answering 'greatly' and 19% saying 'somewhat.' The number of respondents who trust the United States was down 12 points from 34% in a joint survey conducted by The Yomiuri Shimbun and the U.S. polling firm Gallup, Inc. last November, immediately after U.S. President Donald Trump won the election. Asked how much they trusted the United States, 46% of respondents to the Yomiuri poll said 'not very much' and 22% said 'not at all,' for a total of 68%. This compares to 55% in last year's Japan-U.S. survey. Figures from the joint Japan-U.S. surveys can be compared from the year 2000 on. Since that time, the lowest percentage of respondents who said they trusted the United States in the Yomiuri-Gallup survey was 30%, a figure seen under the first Trump administration in 2018. Then as well, Trump was strongly pushing for a rectification of the U.S. trade deficit with Japan, including in automobiles. The fact that the percentage of respondents who trust the United States fell below that level in the latest Yomiuri poll stems not only from the Trump administration's high tariff policy, but also Trump's remarks and actions regarding the situation in the Middle East and Russia's aggression against Ukraine.

Canada rescinds digital services tax to advance stalled U.S. trade talks
Canada scrapped its digital services tax targeting U.S. technology firms late on Sunday, just hours before it was due to take effect, in a bid to advance stalled trade negotiations with the United States. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump will resume trade negotiations in order to agree on a deal by July 21, Canada's Finance Ministry said in a statement. Trump abruptly called off trade talks on Friday over the tax targeting U.S. technology firms, saying that it was a "blatant attack." He reiterated his comments on Sunday, pledging to set a new tariff rate on Canadian goods within the next week, which threatened to push U.S.-Canada relations back into chaos after a period of relative calm. The breakdown in trade talks comes after the two leaders met at the Group of Seven in mid-June and Carney said they had agreed to wrap up a new economic agreement within 30 days. Canada's planned digital tax was 3% of the digital services revenue a firm takes in from Canadian users above $20 million in a calendar year, and payments were to be retroactive to 2022. It would have impacted U.S. technology firms, including Amazon, Meta, Alphabet's Google and Apple, among others. Monday collection will be halted, the Canada's Finance Ministry statement said, and Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne will bring forward legislation to rescind the Digital Services Tax Act. "The DST was announced in 2020 to address the fact that many large technology companies operating in Canada may not otherwise pay tax on revenues generated from Canadians," the statement said. "Canada's preference has always been a multilateral agreement related to digital services taxation." Canada is the second-largest U.S. trading partner after Mexico, and the largest buyer of U.S exports. It bought $349.4 billion of U.S. goods last year and exported $412.7 billion to the U.S., according to U.S. Census Bureau data. The Biden administration had requested trade dispute settlement consultations over the tax in 2024, saying it was inconsistent with Canada's North American trade deal obligations. Canada had escaped Trump's broad tariffs imposed in April but faces 50% duties on steel and aluminum.
