Five government officials said Japan is weighing an expanded definition of “security-related” spending to increase reported defense outlays amid U.S. pressure and tight public finances. Officials are examining whether AI, satellites, R&D and infrastructure — including ports and rail — can be classified as defense-related costs. The move aims to help push Japan’s defense spending toward 3.5% of GDP, the target the U.S. has urged allies to reach. One official said the key question is how much spending can be counted as “defense-related.”
