新闻日期：2024-07-28
美国计划对亚洲军事结构进行重大改组，并将在东京宣布新的司令部，以回应中国在该地区日益增长的野心。美国国务卿安东尼·布林肯和防长劳德·奥斯汀将于周日与日本外相加村阳子和防卫相北川信郎会面，奥斯汀届时将宣布对驻日美军进行重组。
美国计划将US Forces Japan改组为联合部队总部，并向印度-太平洋司令部的指挥官报告。
日本此前希望新司令部由四星上将领导，但据美国官员向路透社透露，这一职位将由三星上将担任。周日的会谈还将讨论“延伸威慑”问题，这是美国用来描述如何通过部署核力量来保护其盟友的术语。
译文中提及的日本已有的美军基地及驻扎情况、日本增加防支出和与韩国的合作等信息可以直接在原文基础上进行调整以更符合中文习惯：
日本已有54000名美国士兵和数百架飞机驻扎在一个美军基地，并且还部署了一个前方机动的航母战斗群。新的司令部将使两国合作更加密切。
周日的会谈还将讨论“延伸威慑”问题，这是美国用来描述如何通过部署核力量来保护其盟友的术语。日本已承诺将其国防支出从占GDP的1%提高到2%，以加强对中国和朝鲜的防御。
此外，由于美总统拜登正寻求增强日本与韩国的合作，这二者均是该地区的关键盟友。两国关系因二十世纪初以来的历史问题而紧张。周日三方签署了协议，将“机构化”三国合作，并包括实时共享朝鲜导弹信息以及增加联合军演次数等。
北川信郎在签署协议后对记者说：“这项备忘录加强了日本、美国和韩国之间的合作，无论国际形势如何变化，我们的伙伴关系都不可动摇。”
至于白宫和五角大楼的回应，暂未立即得到回复。
原文摘要：
The United States will announce a major revamp of its military structure in Asia, unveiling a new command in Tokyo as it deepens ties with Japan in response to China’s increased ambition in the region. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin are scheduled to hold talks with Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa and Defense Minister Minoru Kihara on Sunday, according to a report from Reuters, where Austin will announce a shift of U.S. forces in Japan. “Secretary Austin plans to announce that the United States intends to reconstitute U.S. Forces Japan as a Joint Force Headquarters, reporting to the commander of U.S. INDOPACOM,” a U.S. official told Reuters. TRUMP SHOOTING PLAYS INTO RUSSIA, CHINA PLANS TO DIVIDE US AHEAD OF ELECTIONS Japan has been looking to establish a new joint headquarters in the country to better coordinate with U.S. forces as it sees growing threats in the region, the report notes, with Japan citing increased missile tests by North Korea and China’s growing military ambitions. Japan had hoped the new command would be headed by a four-star general, but the U.S. official told Reuters that a three-star general will take control of the new organization. Talks between the U.S. and Japan Sunday are expected to cover “extended deterrence,” the U.S. official said, the term the U.S. uses to describe how it deploys nuclear forces to deter attacks on its allies. TAIWAN REACTS TO TRUMP’S THEY ‘SHOULD PAY US FOR DEFENSE’ COMMENTS Japan already hosts a U.S. military base with 54,000 American troops, hundreds of aircraft, and a forward-deployed carrier strike group, the report notes, but the new command will allow for greater cooperation between the two countries. Japan recently committed to double defense spending from 1% of GDP to 2% as it seeks greater deterrence over China and North Korea. The move also comes as President Biden has looked to increase cooperation between Japan and South Korea, another key U.S. ally in the region. Relations between the two countries have been strained since the early 20th century. The three nations on Sunday signed an agreement to “institutionalize” trilateral cooperation, according to the report, which will include sharing of real-time North Korean missile information and increased joint-military exercises.

The White House did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment. The Pentagon declined to comment.
