From the US-Japan alliance to ties with Australia, India, and the Quad, IIPS Senior Director Yuki Tatsumi unpacked how regional countries and the US navigate today’s shifting fault lines. She also examined the legacy of Shinzō Abe—including his reputation as the “Trump whisperer”—and how it has shaped the West’s foreign policy under Trump 47.

 

Yuki commented that “More and more when we talk about strategic stability in the Indo-Pacific context, it is…about the stability in the relationship between U.S.-PRC great power competition.”
