UK Carrier in Tokyo? Is This a New Cold War? | JQJO

The UK's HMS Prince of Wales, leading a 12-nation carrier strike group, made its first port call in Tokyo. UK Defense Secretary John Healey and Japanese Defense Minister Gen Nakatani hailed the visit as a sign of deepening strategic alignment between their countries. This cooperation includes a joint fighter jet development project (Global Combat Air Program) with Italy, aiming for a contract by year's end. The visit underscores Japan's efforts to strengthen security ties beyond the US to counter China's growing regional influence.
