The Economic Security Intelligence Lab (ESIL) at The Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology (RCAST), The University of Tokyo and RAND Corporation will convene a seminar titled “Japan-U.S.-ROK Trilateralism in Action - Securing Critical Mineral Supply Chains for Economic Resilience”
As strategic competition intensifies and economic coercion reshapes the global trade landscape, securing resilient supply chains for critical minerals has emerged as a top priority for policymakers and industry leaders alike. Japan, the United States, and the Republic of Korea - three leading Indo-Pacific democracies - are increasingly coordinating efforts to address vulnerabilities in both commercial and defense-related supply chains.
This public seminar brings together leading experts from the RAND Corporation to examine how Japan-U.S.-ROK trilateral cooperation can advance economic security and supply chain resilience under the Trump 2.0 administration.
Scott W. Harold will provide a scene-setting overview of the U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy under the Trump 2.0 administration. Dr. Fabian Villalobos will present key insights from a forthcoming RAND study on trilateral cooperation to diversify and secure critical mineral supply chains. Sale Lilly will analyze the use of economic coercion as a tool of geopolitical influence and its implications for regional resilience. Akira Igata will moderate the panel and offer the Japanese perspective on policies and international coordination related to economic security.
