Japanese PM Shigeru Ishiba met with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Friday .

Unlike most of the Trump domestic and global dynamics so far, this was neither controversial nor confrontational.

Both leaders seemed to have met eye-to-eye on their countries' plans to boost trade and defence.

Japan has been the top foreign investor in the US for five consecutive years .

In 2022 , Japan announced it would double its military spending by 2027 .

The changes marked the most dramatic overhaul to Japan 's security strategy since it adopted a pacifist constitution after World War Two .

With North Korea continuing its nuclear program, South Korea in political meltdown, and ongoing US - China rivalry, Japan has yet again presented itself as America 's least challenging and only unproblematic friend in the region.
