America’s Allies Don’t Trust Trump | Fair Observer Shorts

Japan and South Korea are entering a decisive phase in their relationship as regional power balances shift across the Indo-Pacific. In this episode of FO Talks, Haruko Satoh, eminent geopolitical analyst at the Osaka School of International Public Policy, and Jaewoo Choo, Professor at Kyung Hee University examine how leadership changes in Seoul and Tokyo, rising US China rivalry, and growing security pressures are reshaping bilateral cooperation.

The discussion revisits the evolution of bilateral ties after years of historical tension and explains why both governments are now prioritizing strategic pragmatism over grievance politics. From trilateral coordination with the United States to economic security, semiconductor supply chains, and relations with China, the conversation highlights the structural forces pushing Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and South Korea’s President Lee Jae Myung closer together.

As Washington moves away from multilateralism and toward transactional diplomacy under Trump 2.0, Tokyo and Seoul face hard choices about autonomy, coordination, and leverage. This episode explains why Japan-South Korea cooperation has become central to regional stability and how both countries may quietly shape the future balance of power in East Asia.
