In 2017, the United States and Japan will face a world that is tumultuous and uncertain. With the Trump administration, there are many questions about where the U.S. is heading. In contrast, Japan continues to enjoy much political stability, though Prime Minister Shinzo Abe faces a host of challenges both at home and abroad. How will the two countries' respective political developments impact their foreign policies? How does each country see the world and where does it find challenges?
