To better understand what leadership changes on both sides of the Pacific mean for the U.S.-Japan alliance, this March 2025 event brought together experts from both the United States and Japan to discuss issues facing Donald Trump and Ishiba Shigeru. This event is part of a series that has, for more than a decade, explored key issues confronting Washington and Tokyo, contributing to public understanding about the state of the alliance.
