Japan’s new PM Takaichi vows to boost defence spending to 2% GDP
Just three days into her new post as Japanese prime minister, Sanae Takaichi has pledged to accelerate the nation’s defence spending goal of 2 per cent GDP.
Initially targeted for the 2027 fiscal year, Takaichi told fellow Parliamentarians in Tokyo on Friday that the government would aim to achieve this by current fiscal year through March.
“Japan and the United States will work together in partnership to raise the deterrence and response capabilities of our alliance in order to tackle the issues we face,” Takaichi said.
The new target underscores the Liberal Democratic Party leader’s commitment to what she calls “proactive” spending in efforts to stimulate economic growth in Japan – something she argues is a prerequisite for sound fiscal policy.

Go Japan! Preserve your society!
This is a true PM, this is the PM that we need in Canada 😢
She's also making MASS DEPORTATIONS her first priority, in order to keep Japan, JAPAN! How refreshing in a long list of world leaders who couldn't care less about their own citizens!
she needs to focus on is Japan’s population problem
She is nothing more than a vassal of the US.
Another rather Contradictory Conservative when you read her past and personal views…Inspired by Maggie Thatcher…??!! How can one declare one is in favour of "strong women" yet support a Patriarchal Order – Leadership…? Sounds like Trump in a Pencil Skirt.
Keep Japan Japanese.
Know thats a leader listen europe she is great
Idk why but that speech felt a bit mild and underwhelming.
Canada & Japan should collaborate more.
Y'all love Japan but don't realize Japan is literally what a country would be without liberals 😂
Japan must get permission from the U.S to boost there military
Waste of money.
Why does going from 1% to 2% matter much?
All contests in E Asia are economic with mere military flavor.
Congratulations to her.
You go gal! Make it 3%. Takaichi is no Merkel!

With USA, puppet. Did you really think this rule is made by Japanese cabinet. 😅
BRAVO JAPAN
Both Raphael and Uriel said there's no new Old or new order it's just the world
Osukari samadesu. ..l'm a Burmese. I'm hopping to help the political assistances by Japan for required the Burmese people. ❤❤❤❤
Japan will have to print more paper Yen to pay for this increase in defence spending.
You notice when the camera pans to other members of parliament 100% look to be Japanese, where as in any Western country the leadership resembles a pack of skittles. They are so lucky to be able to preserve their culture while Canada flushes it down the toilet.
I wish we had a true leader like this in Canada
No matter what Japan does, the decision will be taken by Washington ultimately.
Funny how the left wing media doesn’t make a peep about her going full steam on mass deportation because they have a 2% immigrant population and she wants Japans culture to be preserved.
Congratulations Japan for the first female Prime.minister.Let her built Japan l love the Japanese.
Congratulations first female prime minister! Take Japan to higher heights !
Japan is a great nation.
