Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida brought the Group of Seven summit to his hometown of Hiroshima to persuade world leaders to scrap nuclear weapons. Instead, US allies are expected to discuss bringing more to the region to deter common enemies.
At the meeting starting on Friday, Kishida’s long-held ambition of “a world without nuclear weapons” is poised to collide with the harsh realities of security challenges posed by China, North Korea and Russia, all of which are Japan’s neighbors and hold about half. of the world’s nuclear warheads.
