美国要求日本把驻日美军经费分摊提高到五年3万亿日元以上:约为现行三倍,日本考虑约1.5万亿日元

共同社 11 月 12 日援引日美外交消息人士报道,美国政府已要求日本政府把驻日美军驻留经费的日方分摊额,在 2027 年度起的五年里提高到 3 万亿日元以上,约为现行水平的 3 倍,总额约合 190 亿美元。
驻日美军经费分摊由日美特别协定每五年商定一次。现行协定覆盖 2022 至 2026 年度,五年总额约 1.06 万亿日元,年均约 2110 亿日元,将于 2027 年 3 月到期;历史最高纪录是 1996 至 2000 年度的 1.35 万亿日元。按美方要求,日本年均负担将升至 6000 亿日元以上。
日本方面正在考虑把分摊额提高到约 1.5 万亿日元,即年均 3000 亿日元以上。一名外交消息人士表示,五年 3 万亿日元难以接受,但 1.5 万亿日元左右有可能。据报道,美方要求中还可能包括在遭受攻击时强化驻日美军设施抗打击能力的支出。
两国今年夏天起加快了分摊谈判,预计最快下周举行新一轮磋商,目标在今年年底前达成协议。特朗普在其第一个总统任期内也曾施压日本,要求其承担驻日美军费用的大部分。

U.S. Asks Japan to Raise Host-Nation Support for U.S. Forces to Over 3 Trillion Yen Over Five Years, Roughly Triple the Current Level, as Tokyo Weighs About 1.5 Trillion Yen
The United States government has asked Japan to raise its share of the cost of stationing U.S. forces in Japan to more than 3 trillion yen over the five years starting in fiscal 2027, roughly triple the current level and about $19 billion in total, Kyodo News reported on November 12, citing Japanese and U.S. diplomatic sources.
Japan's host-nation support is set every five years under a special agreement with the United States. The current agreement covers fiscal 2022 through 2026, totaling about 1.06 trillion yen, or roughly 211 billion yen a year, and expires in March 2027. The largest five-year total on record was 1.35 trillion yen in fiscal 1996-2000. Under the U.S. request, Japan's annual burden would rise above 600 billion yen.
Tokyo is considering raising its contribution to about 1.5 trillion yen, an annual average of more than 300 billion yen. One diplomatic source said 3 trillion yen over five years would be difficult to accept, while around 1.5 trillion yen could be possible. The U.S. request is also reported to include spending to harden U.S. military facilities in Japan against attack.
The two governments accelerated the cost-sharing talks this summer. Another round of negotiations is expected as early as next week, and both sides aim to reach a final agreement by the end of this year. During his first term, President Donald Trump also pressed Japan to shoulder most of the cost of hosting U.S. troops.
