Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi and POTUS have just signed agreements for 56 billion dollars in Tokyo. The Tokyo-Washington axis is strengthening — it's unprecedented.
At the Indo-Pacific Energy Security Forum in Tokyo this weekend, Asia-Pacific allies (incl. Japan) finalized ~$57B in US energy deals (up from $56B reported), focused on oil/gas exports to reduce reliance on Middle East routes amid Hormuz tensions. Japan is ramping up US purchases (currently ~4% of its oil; Middle East ~90-95%), strengthening the Tokyo-Washington axis. It's a notable expansion, not a full shift. The alliance boost is real and timely.
