Hiroshima, Japan – To promote his vision of a world without nuclear weapons, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida took G7 leaders to the spot in Hiroshima where an atomic bomb was used against a civilian population for the first time.
Kishida may also end up being the leader most singularly responsible for cementing Japan’s turn away from decades of pacifism, as Tokyo embarks on a major military buildup with the backing of the United States’ nuclear umbrella.
