Are American governmental agencies being politically weaponized?

 
A Florida judge is fast tracking a case involving former President Donald Trump over the alleged mishandling of classified material.

A federal judge has ordered that a jury trial in the prosecution of Trump should begin as early as August 14.

This comes after Hunter Biden has agreed to plead guilty in the federal case stemming from years-long investigation into his tax affairs, and many are calling it a sweatheart deal provided by Biden’s Department of Justice.

In Short:
– Japan’s PM Sanae Takaichi will negotiate with Trump on pickups, soybeans, and natural gas next week.
– Takaichi won’t commit to new defence spending, focusing on strengthening U.S.-Japan relations and investment discussions.
Japan’s new Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, is preparing to negotiate with U.S. President Donald Trump next week, aiming to present a package that includes U.S. pickups, soybeans, and natural gas.Takaichi’s administration will not commit to new defence spending at the meeting, despite U.S. pressure for Japan and allies to increase contributions. The meeting will take place during Trump’s first visit to Japan since his re-election, following a prior agreement for Japan to invest up to $550 billion in the U.S. in exchange for lower car tariffs.

The alliance with the U.S. is crucial to Japan’s foreign and security policy, according to Takaichi. A successful dialogue with Trump could strengthen her government, which operates with a parliamentary minority. Washington’s support is essential for Takaichi to advance her regional security agenda.

Diplomatic Details

Main initiatives include purchasing Ford F-150 pickup trucks, an idea suggested by Trump, and increasing U.S. soybean imports amidst declining exports to China. U.S. pickups are impractical for most Japanese consumers but may find utility in specific roles like snow plowing.

Japan plans to enhance its acquisition of U.S. liquefied natural gas, although it will not initially source from a Trump-favoured Alaskan pipeline. Investment discussions will accompany the trade talks, ensuring that Takaichi maintains commitments made by her predecessor.

In defence, Takaichi seeks to solidify ties with the U.S., with Japan housing a significant U.S. military presence. Japan’s defence strategy will undergo reviews to potentially accelerate military capabilities.
