The people of Iwakuni, Japan, have made their position clear year after year: The U.S. base must immediately go!

Just last week, Saad Hariri’s shocking, Saudi-prompted resignation as Lebanon’s prime minister and verbal assault on Hezbollah and Iran set the stage for internal strife, and gave Israel a pretext to attack. This week, all of Lebanon has united to defend Lebanese sovereignty.

Only a day after major ISIS defeats in Syria and Iraq indicated that fighting may be winding down, an extraordinary series of events raised the danger of a new war, this time against Lebanon.

Read updates, statements and reports from resistance during Trump's visits to Asia, including Japan, South Korea and the Philippines.

Read a solidarity statement from the ANSWER Coalition that was read at the Nov. 5 protest against Donald Trump's visit to Japan and a report from one of the protest organizers.

"People in the Asia Pacific do not welcome the planned visit of the U.S. President Donald Trump to the region. He will surely face massive people’s protests wherever he goes."

The following statement was issued by hundreds of progressive and anti-war organizations in South Korea, Japan and the United States to coincide with Donald Trump's trip to Asia.

We strongly protest the U.S. entry ban of the members of this delegation and demand a full explanation for this action and immediate reversal of this decision.

Statement from the ANSWER Coalition: As Trump prepares to embark on his tour of Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam and the Philippines, it is becoming more and more apparent that the purpose of his trip is to drum up support and suppress opposition to the possibility of U.S. war on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

The ANSWER Coalition condemns Trump’s decision to decertify the Iran nuclear deal – the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action – and his other announcements aimed at stepping up U.S. aggression towards the country.
