高市早苗首相、トランプ米大統領との接触を探る ICC制裁や財政政策で日米の立場のずれが表面化

Quick Look

高市早苗首相は今月下旬の訪米に合わせ、トランプ米大統領との接触を探っている。日米は国際刑事裁判所(ICC)の制裁問題や日本の財政政策を巡って立場のずれが表面化しているが、米中首脳会談を前に対中認識を擦り合わせ、信頼関係をアピールしたい考えだ。首相は22日に国連総会の一般討論演説に臨む予定で、同日トランプ氏も登壇する。日本政府関係者は会談を申し入れているが、米国がICCの赤根智子所長を制裁対象に指定し、財政政策の転換を求めているため、現時点では見送った方がいいとの意見もある。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

高市早苗首相は就任後、国際刑事裁判所(ICC)への協力姿勢を示してきたが、米国はICCに対して制裁を課す姿勢を強めている。また、日本の財政政策について、米国は金利上昇が米経済に悪影響を与える可能性があるとして、政策の転換を求めている。

高市早苗首相は今月下旬の訪米に合わせ、トランプ米大統領との接触を探る。日米は国際刑事裁判所(ICC)や日本の財政政策を巡って立場のずれが表面化しているが、24日に予定される米中首脳会談に先立ち、対中認識を擦り合わせつつ信頼関係をアピールしたい考えだ。

「法の支配」問われる高市首相 ICC制裁、米制止の可否焦点

木原稔官房長官は7日の記者会見で、米中首脳会談について「高い関心を持って注視している」と強調。「今後も日米両首脳、外相間を含むあらゆるレベルで緊密に連携する」と語った。

首相は22日、就任後では初めて国連総会の一般討論演説に臨む。同日はトランプ氏も登壇する予定。首相の台湾有事答弁に中国が強く反発し日中関係は冷え込んでいるが、トランプ氏は11月の中間選挙を前に中国の習近平国家主席との会談で経済面で成果を得たい考えだ。首相としては、事前に日本の立場をトランプ氏に伝えておく必要がある。

日本政府関係者は会談を申し入れているとした上で、「仮に立ち話でも機会があれば、それなりに話し込むことはできる」と述べた。

ただ、米国はICCの赤根智子所長を制裁対象に指定。ICCの解体すら視野に入れる。「法の支配」を重視してきた日本は対応に苦慮し、首相も対米批判を避けている。また、首相は「責任ある積極財政」を訴えてきたが、米政府は日本の金利上昇が米経済に悪影響を与えかねないとして、財政政策の転換を求めている。

このため、日本政府関係者は「会談してもめるより、現時点では見送った方がいい。米中後に電話で内容を聞く方が大事だ」と指摘。11月の東南アジア諸国連合(ASEAN)関連首脳会議など、年末にかけて続く国際会議も接触の機会になるとの意見もある。
