Japan's New Government Caught Between Hormuz Crisis and Trump Pressure
La crisis en el estrecho de Ormuz y la presión de Trump ponen en aprietos al nuevo Gobierno de Japón
Summary
Japan's new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who took office in October, faces her biggest diplomatic test as the Strait of Hormuz crisis threatens the country's critical oil supplies. Tokyo has been forced to undertake an unprecedented release of its strategic petroleum reserves to cushion the impact of disruptions linked to the Iran conflict. At the same time, pressure from the Trump administration is complicating Japan's efforts to navigate the crisis without taking sides in the wider Middle East confrontation.
