TOKYO (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe pledged Sunday to bolster his country’s role under its security pact with the U.S. in “outer space and cyberspace,” as the allies marked the 60th anniversary of a treaty that has been the basis for their postwar defense alliance.
Abe’s grandfather, Nobusuke Kishi, who was prime minister at the time, signed the treaty in Washington on Jan. 19, 1960, with President Dwight Eisenhower. The treaty allows for the stationing of tens of thousands of U.S. troops and the deployment of American warships in Japan. In exchange, the U.S. is obligated to protect Japan in case of enemy attack.

WNU Editor: So much for the media/pundit narrative that President Trump is alienating out allies.

the media is scary
You got it Anon, our media sometimes reaches comic book status in their attempts to make DJT appear a loser.
They know no shame.
Trump is not a loser, he is winning in so far as he personal financial gain is concerned. Excluding the wealthy who are the sole gainers of that tax rebate program, it is the people of America that are the losers and many of them are willfully blind to that fact.
Bob Huntley is the short riff B. Poster and both are trolls.
That is all.

Basically, everyone got a 3% cut on tax rate.
Maybe Bob thinks a 3% cut is nothing?
Maybe Bob is the idiot that we all know and loathe.
Actually in my experience 99.5% of people received tax cuts based upon the tax act you are referring to. We are actually in agreement on this one. Now, how exactly am I a troll? I certainly don't meet the definition of this as I stay on topic and try not to offend anyone.
By mentioning me in a derogatory manner even though I had not commented on this post is actually demeaning and deeply offensive and for no good reason. This would make you the troll here not me.
Now, as I stated, I'm in full agreement on the tax cuts being helpful. In my considerable experience in this area as a Certified Public Accountant the overwhelming majority of people in Aneruca are realizing tax savings.
Now, if there's a specific area of disagreement, I'm happy to discuss. Certainly, if I've offended you, I apologize and hope you'll forgive me for the offense. If I'm unable to reasons further on this thread, please understand I am extremely busy!!

It is very likely that the so called tax cuts barely made a dent in the additional costs to the US people created by the tariffs against products made in china. And before you suggest that people could avoid products made in China and thereby side step the tariff impact, keep in mind that a lot of things made in the USA have components made in China that were subject to tariffs.
Wait until the tax returns start rolling this year in and people yet again realize they aren't getting tax rebate backs in the mail, again.
