Some Americans say the United States should consider providing nuclear arms to Japan and South Korea, America’s closest military allies in Asia. Such Americans could become more influential in U.S. politics if Donald Trump is elected president. Trump has won the largest number of delegates in his attempt to become the Republican Party’s presidential candidate. During the campaign, he has suggested that Japan and South Korea should have the right to arm themselves with nuclear weapons. He has also said the U.S. should consider removing troops from countries that do not agree to pay more for the U.S. military bases on their territory. This has led some people to question America’s desire to guarantee security in East Asia. It has also strengthened the position of those who say America’s Asian allies should have their own nuclear weapons to protect themselves. The United States currently has about 28,500 troops in South Korea and 54,000 in Japan.
