@venkatrameshwar @MaryKayCarlson https://t.co/XHTxv5mo8G has a explanation for the rules for registering to vote and for early voting in each state. No matter where one lives, it is a good idea to find out early the procedures for voter registration and for requesting an early voting ballot.

Agree with @WendySCutler that a US-Japan trade deal would be a positive step forward but more efforts on both sides needed to shore up the multilateral trading system. #USJapantrade

Challenges remain to finalize US-Japan trade deal https://t.co/Wf8qJQh1jw

Should the US serve as a "chaperone" to Japan and Korea to guide them through a rough time? Gen In-Bum Chen makes a strong case for more US engagement.

This exodus of talent from the #StateDepartment will leave our next President with a weaker foreign policy team.

Northeast Asia is more secure when the US, Japan and ROK work together to advance shared security objectives. I hope all three countries can work to stop the downward spiral in Japan-ROK relations.

The Sasakawa USA Forum is accepting submissions for Summer-Fall 2019. Articles focus on issues previously inadequately covered regarding #Japan or U.S.-Japan relations from a bilateral, regional, and global context. https://t.co/V652QKoChQ

@KoreaEconInst @Diplomat_APAC Leaders on both sides need to take steps to de-escalate the situation. Seizing Japanese investments in Korea or blocking Japanese exports to Korea is not the answer. Neither side alone can resolve this issue. This is a political not an economic or legal issue.

Alliance coordination will keep us strong.

“Although China is certainly in the backdrop of Japan’s security rationale to promote the FOIP, Japan has recently made some efforts to present the FOIP concept as a more inclusive idea,” writes Fellow Dr. Sayuri Romei in this month's Pakistan Politico: https://t.co/y9pjWvIGeL

@USConGenKansai You will represent the U.S. well.

@observingjapan Could not agree more

[James Zumwalt @SPFZumwalt]

Bringing US troops home from Japan would actually cost the US taxpayer more money than sustaining our partnership with Japan.
