U.S. President Donald Trump complained Thursday that his country's bilateral security arrangement with Japan, signed in 1960, was one-sided. In response, Japan pointed out the cooperative nature of the agreement.
¡°I love Japan. We have a great relationship with Japan. But we have an interesting deal with Japan where we have to protect them but they don't have to protect us,¡± Trump told reporters.
¡°That's the way the deal reads. We have to protect Japan. Under no circumstances do they have to protect us,¡± the president said, adding that Japan was making a fortune off the U.S. economically.
