Donald Trump the Republican nominee for President has shown, one that he doesn't know anything foreign policy and two he knows less than nothing about Japan and its constitution which constrains its military. For Donald Trump's information Japan does pay for the U.S. to station its military personnel in the country. Of course there's the Tokyo treaty which sets out the terms for the U.S. Japan defense treaty.
Just so the know nothing Trump can understand I'll make it simple: America wrote Japan's postwar constitution which limited its military to a self defense force and includes article 9 which prohibits Japan from engaging in military adventurism.
Japan earmarked 189.9 billion yen ($1.7 billion) to host U.S. military bases in Japan in fiscal 2015 through March 31 as part of the costs necessary to station nearly 50,000 U.S. personnel.
“A lot of people like to say, oh, Trump wants Japan to arm. I don’t want them to arm. I want them to reimburse us for at least the cost,” said Trump, a 69-year-old billionaire.
Trump became the sole candidate in the nomination race after Ohio Gov. John Kasich, the last contender, said Wednesday he has suspended his campaign.
“I have great relationships with Japan,” Trump said.
