PM Takaichi Reiterates Cautious Stance on Nuclear Ban Treaty

Original: PM Takaichi Reiterates Cautious Stance toward Nuclear Ban Treaty

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has again signalled a cautious position on the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, keeping Japan out of any move to join the accord. Japan, as the only country to have suffered atomic bombings, faces continued domestic and international pressure to support the ban, but the government cites security reliance on the US nuclear umbrella. Observers see her stance as continuity with past administrations.

Why now: The prime minister's reaffirmed position touches on Japan's sensitive role as the only nuclear-bombed nation still declining to join the ban treaty.
