Biden offers Japan a nuclear shield in Hiroshima

The US President Joe Biden and Japanese PM Fumio Kishida met in Hiroshima, infamously destroyed by a US nuclear bomb in 1945. Biden reiterated the US commitment to the defense of Japan under the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security, backed by the full range of capabilities, including nuclear. Washington has recently begun encouraging Tokyo to remilitarize, citing the rising threat of China. Japan's post-WWII constitution limits the country's military to a self-defense force.
