動画 Takaichi's big test 英語文字起こし和蚳


    本動画は、日本の高垂早苗銖盞ずアメリカのドナルド・トランプ倧統領ずの銖脳䌚談を控え、日本が盎面しおいる倖亀的・法的課題を専門家の芖点から分析したものである。むラン戊争による䞖界的な゚ネルギヌ危機の䞭、日米同盟の維持ず囜内法の制玄の間で揺れる日本の立ち䜍眮が詳述されおいる。

    以䞋に、英語の文字起こしずその和蚳を蚘す。


    • [00:00] Imagine being a world leader stepping into a meeting with the president of the United States, knowing you face a demand that goes not just against your country's laws but its tradition too.

      • 䞖界のリヌダヌずしお米囜倧統領ずの䌚談に臚む堎面を想像しおほしい。自囜の法埋のみならず、䌝統にも反する芁求を突き぀けられるず分かっおいる状況だ。

    • [00:10] Yet refusing him could fracture your country's most important alliance. That's exactly where Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi finds herself as she heads to Washington to meet President Donald Trump.

      • しかし、その芁求を拒絶すれば、囜にずっお最も重芁な同盟関係に亀裂が入りかねない。ドナルド・トランプ倧統領ずの䌚談のためワシントンぞ向かう日本の高垂早苗銖盞は、たさにそのような苊境に立たされおいる。

    • [00:24] With the Iran war disrupting global oil flows and hammering Japan's economy, Trump just can't seem to convince America's allies including Tokyo to help his efforts.

      • むラン戊争が䞖界の石油流通を混乱させ、日本経枈に打撃を䞎える䞭、トランプ氏は東京を含む米囜の同盟囜に察し、自らの取り組みぞの協力を取り付けられずにいる。

    • [00:36] In his frustration he claims he doesn't need them anyway. Yet he continues to call for their help. And meetings like this one, coming up with Takaichi present an opportunity to apply pressure.

      • 苛立ちを募らせるトランプ氏は、同盟囜など必芁ないず䞻匵し぀぀も、実際には支揎を求め続けおいる。高垂氏ずの今回の䌚談は、圧力をかける絶奜の機䌚ずなる。

    • [00:48] Now the visit was scheduled before the war and would have been a chance for Takaichi to celebrate her recent election victory and to reaffirm the US Japan alliance. Now it's turned into a test of how Japan can navigate a global crisis.

      • もずもずこの蚪米は開戊前に蚈画されたもので、高垂氏にずっおは遞挙勝利を祝し、日米同盟を再確認する堎ずなるはずであった。しかし珟圚、それは日本がいかにしお䞖界的危機を乗り越えるかずいう詊緎の堎ぞず倉貌した。

    • [01:03] So why can't Japan give Trump what he wants militarily, and what might it offer instead? To help us make sense of this we're joined by one of the leading experts on Japanese foreign policy, Sheila Smith of the Council on Foreign Relations.

      • なぜ日本は軍事面でトランプ氏の望むものを提䟛できないのか。代わりに䜕を提瀺し埗るのか。倖亀問題評議䌚CFRの日本倖亀政策の暩嚁、シヌラ・スミス氏ず共にこの問題を読み解く。

    • [01:19] But the very short answer is Japan has laws on the books that restrict the use of the self-defense forces except for under very specific conditions.

      • 結論から蚀えば、日本には、極めお限定的な条件䞋を陀き、自衛隊の運甚を制限する法埋が存圚する。

    • [01:28] Right, this derives, of course, from the government's interpretation of Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution. “I intend to make it clear that under Japanese law, what can be done will be done, but what cannot be done won't be done.”

      • 蚀うたでもなく、これは日本囜憲法第9条に察する政府解釈に起因する。高垂氏は、日本の法埋の䞋で「できるこずはやるが、できないこずはやらない」ずいう姿勢を明確にする意向だ。

    • [01:43] So she is not in a position of negotiating with the president. She said this already in the Diet in the Japanese parliament in response to questioning that under the current circumstances, Japan would be unable to deploy its military.

      • したがっお、圌女は倧統領ず亀枉できる立堎にはない。囜䌚答匁でも既に述べた通り、珟状においお日本は軍隊を掟遣するこずは䞍可胜である。

    • [01:58] And let me just give you a sense of what the specific circumstance is. And that is that this is the context of war. Japan has in the past sent minesweepers to the Gulf, and this was way back in the 1990s.

      • 具䜓的な状況を説明しよう。珟圚は「戊争状態」にあるずいうこずだ。日本はか぀お1990幎代にペルシャ湟ぞ掃海艇を掟遣した実瞟がある。

    • [02:10] It did so in a coalition led by the United States, but is it was in the aftermath of the conflict, not during combat or a war. So Japan is not in a position to do anything while the war is ongoing.

      • 圓時は米囜䞻導の有志連合に参加したが、それは玛争終結埌のこずであり、戊闘䞭や戊時䞋ではなかった。ゆえに、戊争が継続しおいる間、日本は䜕もできない状況にある。

    • [02:26] So that's a non-starter then. But Trump typically won't just take no for an answer. So how will Takaichi approach this especially being the first leader to visit Washington among the allies Trump has called out?

      • 議論の䜙地はないずいうこずか。しかしトランプ氏は通垞、拒絶を玠盎に受け入れない。トランプ氏が名指しした同盟囜の䞭で最初にワシントンを蚪れるリヌダヌずしお、高垂氏はどう立ち回るのか。

    • [02:38] The Japanese are going to be exploring with the Trump administration the purchase of Alaskan oil. In other words, say this is something the Trump administration has advocated for in the past, and that is Japanese investment in the infrastructure in Alaska.

      • 日本偎はアラスカ産原油の賌入をトランプ政暩に打蚺するだろう。蚀い換えれば、これはトランプ政暩が過去に提唱しおいた、アラスカのむンフラぞの日本による投資である。

    • [02:54] Including the consideration of a pipeline, even that would bring Alaskan crude to Tokyo and to other places in Asia. This is a very expensive project right now, not just the oil itself, but the infrastructure support right this is a massive investment.

      • アラスカの原油を東京やアゞア各地ぞ運ぶパむプラむン建蚭の怜蚎も含たれる。これは原油代金のみならず、むンフラ敎備も含めた極めお巚額の投資プロゞェクトずなる。

    • [03:13] So what is in the news in Japan today is that the government is working on an offer that would say, all right, we will consider Alaskan oil and let's you know this would be good for Japan to diversify our sources, less risky.

      • 珟圚の日本囜内の報道によれば、政府は「アラスカ産原油の怜蚎」ずいう提案を準備しおいる。これは日本にずっおも䟛絊源の倚角化、リスク䜎枛ずいうメリットがある。

    • [03:26] It comes across the Pacific, not all the way across the globe, but also it would help the US-Japan partnership.

      • 地球の裏偎からではなく倪平掋を越えお運べる䞊、日米のパヌトナヌシップ匷化にも資するものである。

    • [03:33] And then there's China. Takaichi is likely to build on this issue on which both Washington and Tokyo might find common ground, especially over Beijing's posture towards Taiwan, which it considers its own territory.

      • そしお䞭囜の問題がある。高垂氏は、日米が足䞊みを揃えられるこの課題を足がかりにするだろう。特に、䞭囜が自囜領ず䞻匵する台湟ぞの姿勢に぀いおだ。

    • [03:48] So she has a position on the cross-straits relationship that is supportive of Taiwan. She has not been anti-China. She has not in her political career made a case out of criticizing Beijing.

      • 圌女の䞭台関係における立堎は台湟支持である。もっずも、圌女は熱烈な反䞭䞻矩者ではない。政治キャリアを通じお、北京批刀を䞻県に眮いおきたわけではない。

    • [04:02] But a lot of her comments have to do with Japanese defenses, which have to do with Chinese behavior in the region or towards Taiwan, are seen through that lens for her.

      • しかし、日本の防衛に関する圌女の発蚀の倚くは、この地域における䞭囜の振る舞いや台湟ぞの動きずいうレンズを通しおなされおいる。

    • [04:15] So I think it's important when we think about the current turmoil between Japan and China, to position that first. She's not ardently anti-China, but she is not afraid.

      • 珟圚の日䞭間の混乱を考える際、たずその点を螏たえるこずが重芁だ。圌女は盲目的な反䞭ではないが、毅然ずした態床を厩さない。

    • [04:23] She's quite hawkish on Japan's own defense needs and the military requirements that China's growing military power require for the Self-Defense Forces themselves.

      • 日本の防衛の必芁性に぀いおは極めおタカ掟的であり、䞭囜の軍事力増倧に察応した自衛隊の軍備増匷を䞻匵しおいる。

    • [04:34] The two leaders have already met in the past but this time they'll be at the Oval Office, which has been a theater of sorts when some leaders have visited Trump.

      • 䞡銖脳は過去に面䌚しおいるが、今回は倧統領執務宀が舞台ずなる。ここは、蚪れた指導者たちがトランプ氏に翻匄される䞀皮の「劇堎」ず化しおきた堎所だ。

    • [04:47] The Japanese leader will definitely be looking to avoid featuring in another dramatic White House episode.

      • 日本の銖盞ずしおは、ホワむトハりスで繰り広げられる新たなドラマの䞻圹になるこずだけは、䜕ずしおも避けたいずころであろう。

    • [04:53] Well, I think for Takaichi, of course, it's really important. She was riding high because the first Trump visit was when President Trump last fall went to Tokyo on his way to the APEC meeting.

      • 高垂氏にずっお、今回の䌚談は極めお重芁だ。昚幎秋、トランプ氏がAPEC䌚議ぞの途䞊で東京に立ち寄った際、圌女は絶奜調であった。

    • [05:03] She had just been elected prime minister of Japan. It's within a week and she was hosting the American president which is a big deal right for any new Japanese prime minister.

      • 銖盞就任からわずか1週間で米囜倧統領を迎え入れるずいう、新銖盞ずしおは異䟋の倧圹を果たしたのである。

    • [05:13] He came to Tokyo. It was a bit of a love fest. I mean the optics were fantastically positive for the alliance. They stood together as he went off to see Xi Jinping on the top of an American aircraft carrier.

      • 東京での䌚談は極めお友奜的な雰囲気であった。米空母の甲板䞊で共に立぀姿は、同盟の匷固さを察倖的に瀺す玠晎らしい挔出ずなった。

    • [05:24] She looked a little bit like somebody out of Top Gun. She looked very comfortable in that military setting. It was very interesting for me to watch not only as a Japanese woman in leadership but also just as a Japanese prime minister the level of comfort she had.

      • 軍事的な舞台装眮の䞭、圌女はたるで映画『トップガン』の登堎人物のように堂々ずしおいた。指導的立堎にある日本人女性ずしお、たた日本の銖盞ずしお、圌女が芋せた䜙裕は非垞に印象的であった。

    • [05:39] So it conveyed what the Japanese wanted to convey as China was preparing to meet with Trump. But it was also a very good personal dynamic. I think this time it's more substance substance substance.

      • これは䞭囜偎に察しおも、日本が意図した通りのメッセヌゞを䌝えたず蚀える。個人的な関係も良奜であったが、今回は「実利」こそがすべおずなるだろう。

    • [05:53] Whether that good personal diplomacy vibe will continue to feed into the optics this time will be interesting to watch. This is harder territory because this is where there are real constraints on what she can do.

      • その良奜な倖亀的雰囲気が、今回の䌚談でも維持されるかは芋ものである。しかし、今回は圌女ができるこずに法的な制玄があるため、より困難な局面ずなる。

    • [06:07] Even though she has a massive electoral victory behind her she can't change Japanese law when it comes to the deployment of military forces, and she has been very clear in Tokyo on this.

      • 遞挙で倧勝したずはいえ、軍隊掟遣に関する囜内法を独断で倉えるこずはできない。圌女はこの点に぀いお、東京でも明確な姿勢を瀺しおいる。

    • [06:17] She is not at the moment considering any kind of dispatch of the Self-Defense Forces. If the war ends then there's a maybe in that statement right at the end of the combat at the conflict.

      • 珟時点で自衛隊の掟遣は怜蚎しおいない。戊争が終結すれば、あるいは可胜性はあるかもしれないが。

    • [06:33] But I think as long as this goes on, she's pretty safely protected at home by law. But whether or not President Trump appreciates that or not I don't know.

      • 戊争が続く限り、圌女は囜内法ずいう盟に守られおいる。しかし、トランプ倧統領がその事情を汲み取るかどうかは䞍透明だ。

    • [06:44] And in the worst-case scenario, what other options does Japan have, especially as the Iran war and the resulting economic strains continue?

      • 最悪のシナリオずしお、むラン戊争ずそれに䌎う経枈的苊境が続く䞭、日本には他にどのような遞択肢があるのか。

    • [06:53] I think it's interesting to say that the debates that are in the Diet are largely about Takaichi coming to see President Trump, of course, but they're also about the relationship between Tokyo and Iran.

      • 興味深いこずに、囜䌚での議論は高垂氏の蚪米のみならず、日本ずむランの関係にも及んでいる。

    • [07:05] And this is a relationship that many don't really appreciate, but there is a long-standing relationship between Tehran and Tokyo. Not sure it gives Japan a lot of leverage, but the conversation in Japan at the moment is why isn't Takaichi negotiating with Iran for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz?

      • あたり知られおいないが、東京ずテヘランの間には長幎の信頌関係がある。それが倧きな亀枉材料になるかは䞍明だが、珟圚日本では、なぜ高垂氏がホルムズ海峡の安党通航に぀いおむランず盎接亀枉しないのかずいう議論がなされおいる。

    • [07:23] I suspect because she wants to come and get her discussions with President Trump out of the way first, before Japan is perceived as compromising the situation in a way that the United States might not be pleased about.

      • おそらく、米囜を䞍快にさせるような劥協をしたず芋なされる前に、たずはトランプ氏ずの話し合いを枈たせたいのであろう。

    • [07:38] But as you may know, several countries have negotiated with Tehran. India, first and foremost, Pakistan, and I think Turkey. And so there have been several ships that have gotten safe passage.

      • 呚知の通り、むンドやパキスタン、トルコなどは既にテヘランず亀枉を行っおいる。その結果、いく぀かの船舶は安党通航を確保しおいる。

    • [07:53] Some of the leaders of the Revolutionary Guard in Tehran have been on Japanese television, interviewed by the national broadcasting NHK, and they said, of course, we would consider it if Japan is not supporting the American war, we would consider safe passage for Japan.

      • むラン革呜防衛隊の幹郚はNHKのむンタビュヌに察し、日本が米囜の戊争を支持しないのであれば、安党通航を怜蚎するず明蚀しおいる。

    • [08:11] So there is some space here, and it's not just about the trip to the to Washington but about the larger trade-offs for Japan in thinking through how it responds to this conflict.

      • ここに亀枉の䜙地がある。今回の蚪米だけでなく、この玛争にいかに察応するかずいう倧きな枠組みの䞭での、日本にずっおのトレヌドオフ劥協点の問題だ。

    • [08:21] But of course, the US-Japan relationship has a long history with multiple elements, meaning this meeting will go well beyond the Iran war.

      • もちろん、日米関係には長い歎史ず倚様な偎面があり、今回の䌚談はむラン戊争の枠を倧きく超えるものずなる。

    • [08:29] But I'll be watching the Alaska offer. I mean I think that's the big we all expected this to be a very comfortable meeting where she could celebrate her victory and talk about the economic relationship.

      • 私はアラスカ産原油の提案に泚目しおいる。圓初、この䌚談は勝利を祝い、経枈関係を語る穏やかなものになるず予想されおいた。

    • [08:41] They were ready to tee up projects under that 550 billion FDI plan. So I think again that'll be there. And that'll be the starring that'll take the starring role.

      • 5500億ドルの察内盎接投資蚈画に基づくプロゞェクトも準備されおいた。それが今回の䞻圹ずなるだろう。

    • [08:54] What I'm going to be looking for is Japan and the United States also have to negotiate what's called a host nation support agreement in next year.

      • 私が泚芖しおいるもう䞀点は、来幎に控えた「思いやり予算駐留軍甚地特措法」の亀枉である。

    • [09:00] And so I'm going to be watching for the reciprocity argument to re-emerge in that policy area. I don't know how prepared the Trump administration is to take this moment beyond the economic relationship with Japan.

      • この分野で「盞互䞻矩」の議論が再燃するかどうかが鍵だ。トランプ政暩が経枈関係を超えお、どれほど螏み蟌んだ芁求を甚意しおいるかは未知数である。

    • [09:14] Are they really going to be asking for other kinds of strategic military cooperation? I don't know. So that's what I'll be looking for. This president tends to focus on the economic dynamics more than any other president in the past.

      • 圌らは真に戊略的な軍事協力を求めおくるのか。歎代の倧統領以䞊に経枈的力孊を重芖するトランプ氏だけに、その動向が泚目される。

    • [09:27] If it were a typical US-Japan meeting, I would expect other kinds of security cooperation to also emerge to demonstrate how Japan contributes to the Indo-Pacific.

      • 通垞の日米䌚談であれば、むンド倪平掋ぞの日本の貢献を瀺すための安保協力が議題に䞊るはずだ。

    • [09:39] And the last thing I'm going to be watching for is Chinese military activity around Taiwan. It has been on the uptick as we are all focused over there on the Iran war.

      • 最埌の䞀点は、台湟呚蟺での䞭囜の軍事掻動だ。むラン戊争に䞖界の泚目が集たる裏で、掻動は掻発化しおいる。

    • [09:52] I'm going to be looking to see just how much the focus goes back to the Indo-Pacific and what's happening in the Indo-Pacific.

      • 関心がどれほどむンド倪平掋地域ぞず戻るのか、珟地の情勢を泚芖する必芁がある。

    • [09:59] I think that's going to be an important piece of her talking points and her brief is to get the president to not myopically focus on Iran but to look to make keep an eye on that Indo-Pacific theater as well.

      • 倧統領に察し、むランにのみ固執するのではなく、むンド倪平掋ずいう劇堎にも目配りさせるこず。それが圌女の亀枉における重芁な任務ずなる。

    • [10:10] To make sure that the United States is prepared in case there's any kind of mischief that might happen.

      • 䞭囜によるいかなる挑発行為に察しおも、米囜が即応できる䜓制にあるこずを確認せねばならない。

    • [10:19] Takaichi will be hoping to leave Washington with something to show not just on the international stage but also to the Japanese public.

      • 高垂氏は、囜際舞台のみならず日本囜民に察しおも、目に芋える成果を携えお垰囜するこずを望んでいるだろう。

    • [10:29] If she comes back having been embarrassed by Trump publicly or having been the recipient of a tirade of why don't you allies do more in public, I think the Japanese people will be very unhappy.

      • もし公の堎でトランプ氏から恥をかかされたり、「同盟囜はもっず貢献せよ」ず非難を济びたりするようなこずがあれば、囜民の反発は必至である。

    • [10:46] Whether they'll be unhappy with Trump or unhappy with her I don't know. I think they'll probably be unhappy with Trump given the current mood around the Iran war.

      • その矛先がトランプ氏に向くのか、銖盞に向くのかは定かではない。しかし、珟圚のむラン戊争を巡る䞖論を鑑みれば、トランプ氏ぞの䞍満が高たる可胜性が高い。

    • [10:57] So I don't know how that will play out, but I think for her this is really really critical and it's hard. This could go either way.

      • 結果がどう転ぶかは分からないが、圌女にずっお極めお重芁か぀困難な局面であるこずは間違いない。

    • [11:05] Even though the Japanese government is very highly prepared for the complexity of the moment, this is a high-stakes meeting for Takaichi and for Japan for that matter.

      • 日本政府がどれほど呚到な準備を重ねようずも、これは高垂氏、そしお日本にずっお極めおリスクの高い䌚談なのである。

    • [11:15] And other US allies will be closely watching this visit to see just how they too can position themselves in the face of pressure from the world's superpower.

      • 他の同盟諞囜も、超倧囜からの圧力に察し日本がいかに振る舞うかを泚芖しおいる。
