at the age of 76. we'll take a little bit of mind from one of america's most infamous pin, the i bank, visible, and welcome. united states presidents are by, is bound to defend the philippines and japan from the tax. i mean, the us commitment to a specific allies is i am glad you made the pledge during the 1st day of a trial. actual sound like between the 3 nations in washington with china is growing military assertiveness in the region. talk the agenda as out east asia of correspondence. james jacob reports to the prime minister of japan in washington, this week, a rupture as reception for the us. as in the pacific allies, japanese prime minister mucous you to became only his country. secondly, that's a form of the address,

the us congress issuing stone warnings about the threats posed by bay. james china is current external stance and military actions present. i'm press the dentist and the greatest strategic challenge. keisha does remarks came and made a flurry of diplomatic activity claim did, galvanizing washington's asian allies shortly off to a historic 1st of a try last rule summit between the leaders of the us, japan and the philippines. but the focus of that me thing, growing concerns in manila and so po, about maritime disputes with aging. china in recent months has stepped up progression against the philippine vessels in the south trying to seek out the summits washington's message to it's to mutual defense tracy allies. we will stand by our promises. i want to declare the united states, united states defense commitments to japan and to the philippines,

our iron clad or our clack, china has set the meeting stalls, block confrontation as saying it was being smooth and attacked, maybe by the us. japan relationship should not harm other countries, interest not undermine regional peace and stability. fucking washington beneath the diplomatic sunset. a sense of urgency? the question marks hon over the coming us selection. and what's the victory for former president trump would mean for his country's commitments overseas? depends leader ones of washington's waning supports, the ukraine, and its implications for asia. the leadership of the united states is in just a simple way to have the presence of the united states. how long before the, the in the pacific woods phase, even hash veritas, in his address case, you, the said the world was a historic turning. in the face of such challenges,

these really to sort to cost a vision of unity. one that will ensure the in the pacific security for use to come let's go to al, correspond to james china in taiwan, which by june claims as part of its silver and territory. what does this iron clad commitment actually entail of the whole president? by then made it very clear that these mutual defense treaties that exist. for example, with the philippines does extend to the types of maritime vessels, which we've seen china targeting in the south china sea over recent months. now this is nothing new position for washington. this is a position that's been house for a long time now. but what we can tell from the reiteration, the very strong reiteration that we saw from president biden is the importance really that there attaching to this issue. it's important to point out that these mutual defend street is that exist with the us and the philippines in the us in

japan. they operate on a bilateral level. this is nelson asian style. nice. so that we're seeing come into fruition here. but what washington really is trying to do, especially with this try lateral some, this is bring its highlights in the region even close to together. and we're seeing that, especially in, in the form of the relationship between folks here in manila currently negotiating well could be a reciprocal access agreement. the military's then ministry is to be stationed on each of this territory. ok, so close to ties. but what about bolstering defenses against a potential chinese occurs besides those bases? you mentioned, as well as upon them to send opinions, of course, and taking their own measures themselves upon as i'm taking a drastic over the whole of its defense spending freeze on pulling the case of taiwan issuing and deploying more military units to south western islands. much closer to the time when these main non just

a few 100 kilometers away. we've also seen, for example, between the us and, and the philippines. and the us negotiating access to more military bases, especially again in not northern province of the philippines. very close to taiwan, but also with very important strategic implications for the philippines concerns in the south china sea. 2 other concerns that biden's promises could disappear under a trump presidency, for example. or when this is the question that's really hanging are the only to is in, in the pacific of this year. and i think what we saw in the summit here really wasn't assets on the hoffman. all these need is to institutionalize to deepen these connections in these partnerships, to a level that that makes it difficult, should president's former president trump come into the office again to undo some of the progress we sold this really future heavily into should

a speech to the congress, appealing to both sides of the aisle in the us establishment, for example, saying that the us was critical to global security. whether that's in europe, whether that's in the middle east or whether that's in the in the pacific. but crucial, he also said, quote that the us should not be expected to do it tool, unaided and on your own. of course, this is something that former president trump has spoken about frequently. that the us is i life haven't been doing enough to guarantee that own security. and so what we saw here from tissue there really wasn't efforts to appeal to both sides of the aisle and to ensure that goodwill that currently exists between what 3 of these countries will last be on november's election and security alliances. and the u. s . and china, james, thanks for the analysis. tens of thousands of people in southern russia and conflicts done have been flooded down they homes and over
