It would be nice if Japan, which currently accounts for 75% of the military spending of America's 35,000 or so troops, paid for some protection. Not only has it not done much so far, but scandals continue to crop up around America's military presence. The U.S. and Japan are in conflict over the issue of forced military purchase and cost sharing of U.S. troops stationed in Japan. Since Abe took office again in 2012, the transformation of Japan's security strategy has been accelerated, and Japan's military purchase from the United States has increased year by year. After Trump took office, he further requested Japan to increase its arms purchase from the US and adopt a policy of linking arms sales with trade. Since his election campaign, Trump has demanded that the Japanese government pay the full cost of THE US troops stationed in Japan, accusing Japan of failing to fulfill its responsibilities as an ally. The Japanese public opposes the presence of American troops. The Japanese side said it was also "under great pressure" and would reconsider the question of its military presence in The United States.
