They are expected to announce plans to revamp the U.S. military command structure in Japan, where 54,000 U.S. troops are stationed, with the goal of responding more quickly to a crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Biden and Kishida are also expected to announce Japan\u2019s participation in the U.S. space agency NASA\u2019s Artemis lunar program, as well as cooperation on joint technology projects.<\/p>\n<p>Biden and his wife, Jill, will host Kishida and his wife, Yuko, at a formal state dinner at the presidential mansion, including a performance by U.S. singer-songwriter Paul Simon. Kishida is the fifth foreign leader that Biden has welcomed for a state visit since taking office in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The diplomatic formalities are overshadowed by the proposed $14.1 billion sale of Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel to Nippon Steel of Japan, a deal that has become embroiled in protectionist campaign rhetoric ahead of the November U.S. presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>Last month Biden announced his opposition to the deal, saying the U.S. needs to \u201cmaintain strong American steel companies powered by American steelworkers.\u201d Former president Donald Trump, Biden\u2019s likely Republican opponent in the November election, has promised to block the deal if he is elected again.<\/p>\n<p>Kishida will take part in a trilateral summit Thursday with Biden and President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. of the Philippines, and deliver a speech before a joint meeting of Congress. He will be just the second Japanese prime minister to address the U.S. legislature, following Shinzo Abe\u2019s appearance in 2015.<\/p>\n<p><em>Some information for this report came from The
