U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ), Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, released the following statement on the agreement reached by Japan and the Republic of Korea regarding wartime comfort women: Today's landmark agreement between Japan and the Republic of Korea regarding the comfort woman issue is a testament to the leadership and vision of Prime Minister Abe and President Park. I truly hope this agreement will mark a new era between Tokyo and Seoul based not on the burdens of history but on the shared goal of forging a more stable, peaceful, and prosperous future for the Asia-Pacific region. A Japan and ROK that are more unified bilateral partners and trilateral allies with the United States represents a powerful force for freedom in the world that we should welcome in these perilous and unpredictable times. I congratulate both governments on finalizing this historic deal and look forward to realizing its benefits in the years ahead. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
