"You know we have a treaty with Japan, where if Japan is attacked, we have to use the full force and might of the United States," Trump said. WASHINGTON - White House hopeful Donald Trump savaged US ally Japan Friday, expressing frustration that Washington must defend the Asian nation but that if the United States is attacked, Japanese can "sit home and watch Sony television." "It could be that Japan will have to defend itself against North Korea," Trump said Friday. Trump added that the United States protects Japan, South Korea, Germany, Saudi Arabia and other nations, and "they don't pay anything near what it costs." "You always have to be prepared to walk," Trump said about getting allies to carry their financial weight.
