Revisiting US-Japan Energy Strategies: A Seminar on Risk Management

Seminar Overview: Revising US Strategies and Risk Management

On June 24, 2025, a seminar titled "Revisiting US Strategies and Risk Management" will be held, led by Yukio Sakaguchi, representative of the Clean Energy Research Institute. This event is part of the SSK Seminar series and focuses on the recent energy policy changes as a result of the Trump administration's budget proposals.

Context and Purpose

In May 2025, Trump’s administration successfully pushed the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" through the US House of Representatives, kickstarting comprehensive reform in areas like renewable energy, manufacturing, and taxation. While the bill is currently under Senate review, it encapsulates significant structural changes that cannot be overlooked in Japan’s energy, national security, and US business strategies.

Key Topics to be Discussed

1. Overview of the Bill and Current Political Climate: Analyzing the implications of the proposed legislation amidst evolving political scenarios.
2. Structure and Financial Framework of the Trump Budget: Exploring the budget's features that directly affect the energy sector.
3. Energy Policy Shifts: Understanding the implications of the proposed withdrawal from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and a potential return to fossil fuels.
4. Impact on Japanese Businesses: How the reduction of the IRA affects Japanese companies operating in the US market.
5. Supply Chain Reconfiguration: Understanding the “non-friendly nation clause” and its implications for Japanese firms.
6. Reconstructing US-Japan Strategies: Presenting options for cooperation and adjustments necessary in the industrial and governmental sectors.
7. Scenario-Based Practical Responses: Simulating actionable responses depending on the outcomes of the legislative process.
8. Q&A Session: Opportunity for participants to engage with the speaker and clarify doubts.

These focal areas are critical as they relate directly to Japanese strategies concerning renewable energy development, investment plans, and business operations in the US, all of which demand prompt and informed responses.
