Trump Says US Defends Competitors Japan, South Korea, Gets Nothing in Return
Donald Trump criticized the US commitment to defend South Korea and Japan without getting anything in return.
The US is obligated to defend Japan if the country comes under attack, Trump said, but under the terms of the defense treaty Japan doesn’t have to come to the aid of the United States.
“Do you think that is a good deal?” he asked a packed crowd at a stadium with a capacity of 43,000 people.
Trump said that the United States was running up enormous trade deficits with Japan and South Korea while defending them, but getting nothing in return.
Trump continues to strongly lead the Republican field in all national and and major state polls.
