Concerns are rising in Asia. Instability is creeping into South Korea after President Yoon Suk Yeol‘s martial law declaration prompted his impeachment and left the country without an elected leader. Meanwhile, China is strengthening its overall military position and increasing its presence around Taiwan.
The eighth annual CPAC Japan brought policymakers from Japan, the United States, South Korea and beyond to the table to find collaborative solutions that support freedom and peace in the region.
President Trump’s newly-appointed presidential envoy for special missions and CPAC board member, Ric Grenell, was among those policymakers that also included Tennessee Senator Bill Hagerty, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, and Members of the House of Representatives of Japan Yuichiro Tamaki, Hitoshi Aoyagi, and Manabu Matsuda.
"These events in Japan are just having a great impact. There's a lot of concern in the region," commented CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp, adding that Japan is "one of America's most important allies."
At CPAC Japan 2024, the United States and Japan came together at a crucial time, on the cusp of a second Trump presidency and as the Japan-based SoftBank announced a massive $100 billion investment in the United States. Together, the two nations are promising to be powerful forces for freedom and stability for the next four years and beyond.
