Ask USP Episode 10 - Assessing Blinken's Asia Blitz
Update: 2024-08-12
Description
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s whirlwind tour across six countries in the Indo-Pacific region has had important implications for U.S. engagement in the region. His busy schedule included two two-plus-two meetings in Manila and Tokyo, where Mr. Blinken and U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin met their Philippine and Japanese counterparts for high-level discussions. These meetings
also produced key deliverables such as the announcement of a new “joint force headquarters” in Japan and a US$500 million pledge to increase Manila’s military capabilities. What can we make of Mr. Blinken’s region-spanning visits, especially in the face of the election in November?
