Japan reported on the need to review three non-nuclear principles

An unnamed official responsible for national security issues in the administration of Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi considers it necessary to acquire nuclear weapons. This was reported on December 18 by the Kyodo newspaper.

"I think Japan needs to have nuclear weapons," he said in an informal interview.

He noted that he considers this unrealistic, as this event may cause a negative reaction both within the country and abroad.

The country adheres to three non—nuclear principles - not to have, not to produce, not to import nuclear weapons.
