Kishida Says ‘World Needs US,’ Warning Congress of Global Risks
- Japan PM urges America to maintain key role in world affairs
- He says China poses threat to international peace, stability
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said the world needs the US to maintain its key role on the global stage, warning that Ukraine would lose hope and much of Asia would face “harsher realities” without American support.
In an address to Congress on Thursday, the Japanese leader said he sensed “self-doubt” in the US over its involvement abroad. He pledged that his country will take a more proactive role as a US ally to counter growing threats posed by the likes of China, Russia and North Korea.
