Risks and Opportunities for the U.S.-Japan Alliance

As a turbulent year in U.S.-Japan relations comes to a close, an expert panel will consider the state of the alliance under President Trump's second term. What elements of alliance cooperation have continued, and what has been lost in the face of difficult trade negotiations? How can the alliance adapt to—and even take advantage of—a reframed security relationship? How do emerging technology and expanding regional partnerships introduce new opportunities for Japan? What threats does the Indo-Pacific confront, and what is the alliance doing to mitigate these risks?

Join the Asia Society Policy Institute for an end-of-year discussion on the risks and opportunities for the U.S.-Japan alliance. The conversation will be moderated by Demetri Sevatopulo, U.S.-China Correspondent at the Financial Times, and feature Emma Chanlett-Avery, Director for Political-Security Affairs at the Asia Society Policy Institute; Hiroyuki Akita, Foreign Affairs Correspondent for Nikkei News; Mira Rapp-Hooper, Partner at The Asia Group; Michael Schiffer, Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Sasakawa Peace Foundation; and Jamie Morgan, Non-Resident Fellow at Carnegie Mellon Institute for Strategy and Technology.

This event is part of ASPI's project on "A Stress Test for Resilience: Risks and Opportunities for the U.S.-Japan Alliance," made possible through the generous support of the U.S.-Japan Foundation.
