According to 5 FT sources, US Deputy Defense Deputy Elbidge Kolby has raised this issue at meetings with Japanese and Australian defense agencies in recent months.
After the publication, the flask wrote on the social network X that Pentagon implements President Donald Trump’s program “Restoration of restraint and peace through force”, which includes “call for allies to increase defense costs and other efforts related to our collective defense.”
Negotiations include efforts to persuade the Allies to increase defense expenditures on the background of increasing concern for China’s threat to Taiwan. However, the requirement for war -related obligations is a new requirement by the US, it is said in the publication.
According to one of the interlocutors, this requirement “caught Tokyo and Canberra by surprise because the United States itself does not give Taiwan guarantees for unconditional support.”
The second interlocutor noted that representatives of Japan, Australia and other US allies were “surprised”.
The Ministry of Defense of Japan stated that “it is difficult to answer the hypothetical issue of” Taiwan’s emergency “. It stated that any reaction” would “be implemented on an individual and specific basis in accordance with the Constitution, international law and domestic laws and regulations.”
The Australian Embassy in the United States did not comment.
