U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's meeting next week with Japanese Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe may mark the start of talks to garner Japan's support
for a push back against China's growing influence in Asia, a security
adviser to Trump said.
In the face of a rising China and a volatile North Korea, Trump's campaign
comments, including a demand that Japan pay more for the upkeep of U.S.
forces on its soil, have worried Tokyo about a rift in a security alliance
with Washington that has been the bedrock of its defense since World War Two.
A tougher stance against China, however, and a call for Japan to play a
bigger security role through a Trump-Abe axis would fit with Abe's hawkish
policies that include allowing the military to operate more freely overseas.
Abe will meet Trump in New York on Thursday before going to the Asia-Pacific
Economic Cooperation summit in Peru.
Trump was looking to Japan "to play a more active role in Asia", the adviser
, who declined to be identified because he was not authorized to talk to the
media, told Reuters.
Abe, he added, was "a uniquely placed figure to offer leadership in the
alliance".
Senior U.S. Navy commanders have said they would welcome joint air and sea
patrols with Japan's military in the disputed South China Sea, where the
construction of island bases is extending Beijing's influence. Tokyo has
balked at direct provocation of its neighbor, choosing instead to assist
nations in the region with disputes with China, such as the Philippines.
Trump, in his first 100 days in office, would end budget sequestration that
mandates spending, including cuts in military outlays, and submit a budget
that would fund construction of dozens of new warships, the adviser said.
It would "send a message to Beijing as well as allies Japan and South Korea
and other nations that the U.S. is intent on being in (Asia) for a long time
", he said.
However, current U.S. officials warn it would be difficult to build and
absorb new warships.
"Ships can't be built overnight," a U.S. defense official said, speaking on
the condition of anonymity. "The larger concern is how they would be funded
and how they would be manned."
The official said that even if the funds were available, it would be
necessary to find shipyards and skilled workers to build the ships.
Ending sequestration is also easier said than done, requiring the approval
of Congress, where the support would be needed of Democrats staunchly
opposed to giving the Pentagon more money without also spending more on
social programs.
Trump would also need to overcome the reservations of fiscally conscious “
Freedom Caucus” Republicans, who oppose increasing government spending,
including at the Pentagon.

The Trump adviser said the president-elect would want to allay any "
unfounded" concerns Abe may have and affirm his commitment to their
countries' security alliance. "This is going to be a respectful conversation
."
Potential friction between the two countries, however, exists over how much
Tokyo pays for the deployment of U.S. forces in Japan. Japan says the
funding it provides, which covers three quarters of the cost, is enough.
"We are bearing the burden for what we should bear," Japanese Minister of
Defense Tomomi Inada told reporters in Tokyo on Friday, Kyodo news reported.
Abe knows little about Trump, and in New York is likely to want to begin
building a relationship that could yield a common world view, a person who
knows the prime minister said.
"He has proven to be able to get along with fairly edgy people," he said.
