Japan’s top government spokesman said on Thursday that Japan and the United States have not discussed revising the US-Japan security treaty after US President Donald Trump renewed his criticism of the defence pact in a television interview. Trump told Fox television in Washington on Wednesday that if the United States is attacked, Japan “doesn’t have to help us at all. They can watch it on a Sony television, the attack.” The Japanese and US governments “have not discussed revising the US-Japan Security Treaty at all,” Yoshihide Suga told reporters in Tokyo. “The obligations of the United States and Japan … are balanced between both countries,” he added.
