TOKYO -- U.S. President Donald Trump in late June called for changes to what he described as an "unfair" Japan-U.S. security treaty, outdoing any other recent U.S. president in complaining about the decades-old document.
If the Japan-U.S. alliance is shaken, the security of the Asia-Pacific region would be greatly affected. Therefore, Japan, Australia, South Korea and Southeast Asia in no way should look at the issue raised by Trump as someone else's problem.
