Japan’s Potential ’Golden Dome’ Missile Defense Collaboration with U.S. Could Influence Tariff Negotiations
Japan’s Potential ’Golden Dome’ Missile Defense Collaboration with U.S. Could Influence Tariff Negotiations

U.S. President Donald TRUMP and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba discussed a proposed "Golden Dome" missile defense system in May, according to Japan’s Nikkei. The system, modeled after Israel’s Iron Dome, is estimated to cost $831 billion and could serve as leverage in ongoing tariff negotiations.
Japan’s chief tariff negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa, is set to meet with U.S. officials in Washington this week. Analysts suggest participation in the defense project could soften the impact of Trump-era tariffs. Ishiba, a self-proclaimed defense enthusiast, has already committed $1 trillion in U.S. investments despite domestic economic challenges.
