Chairman’s Message: The Mar-a-Lago U.S.-Japan Summit
Author: Admiral Dennis Blair
Categories: Chairman's Message, Sasakawa USA Blog
I recommend a careful reading of the formal communique of the summit meeting, rather than press reporting, or even the transcript of the joint press conference of the two leaders. Communiques for summit meetings are drafted with care in consultations between the staffs of both delegations and approved by the heads of state. They represent the considered results of the meetings, drawing on the overall relationship between the countries and the issues they face together. The communique from Mar-a-Lago shows clearly that the U.S. and Japan are united on the big security issues that both countries face.
