  G1 Silicon Valley 2026 - Navigating a Strategic Roadmap for the US Japan Alliance

  Jul 15, 20261 hour

  Global instability and the rise of economic statecraft have elevated the US-Japan relationship to a critical point. This session examines the shift toward "de-risking" and the role of the alliance in maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific. A defining factor in this strategic roadmap is the unique, positive rapport between Prime Minister Takaichi and President Trump, which distinguishes the US-Japan bond from other bilateral ties. Beyond defense, we explore how this exceptional alignment serves as a stabilizing force in a fractured world. How should leaders coordinate to ensure the alliance remains the cornerstone of global economic security?
