Japan’s PM considers letting U.S. nuclear ships dock, risking long-standing non-nuclear policy.
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is reportedly considering revising Japan’s Three Non-Nuclear Principles, specifically the ban on nuclear weapons entering the country, to allow U.S. nuclear-armed vessels greater access to Japanese ports.
The potential change, part of a broader security strategy update, has sparked concern over a major shift in Japan’s long-standing non-nuclear policy, which has been a cornerstone of its postwar identity since 1967.
While Takaichi has not confirmed altering Japan’s commitments to not possess or produce nuclear weapons, her stance has raised alarms about weakening U.S. nuclear deterrence and provoking domestic and international backlash.
Opposition leader Yoshihiko Noda urged the government to uphold the principles, emphasizing Japan’s moral responsibility to lead global nuclear abolition efforts.
