They agreed to deepen defence industrial collaboration at a summit in April.
in an interview with the Financial Times：
１．Emanuel said both sides needed to change existing rules for the US to make better use of Japan’s engineering and industrial capabilities.
２．The United States is going to have to change the way it deals with technology transfer to get speed, the ambassador said.
Japan is going to have to change the way they deal with exports so there is a business case for this co-production.
MHI produces Patriot missiles:
Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries produces Patriot missiles under licence from US defence contractors Lockheed Martin and RTX, formerly Raytheon Technologies.
Washington wants Tokyo to play a bigger role in co-producing weapons that can be used by the US.
Emanuel said：
１．the US no longer had the luxury of spending years to approve transfers of technology to allies.
２．We’re going to have to change. We can’t do holding technology to the point that you can’t get there fast, he said.
