QUESTION: Is the U.S.-Japan defense treaty covering the Senkaku Islands?
MR. CROWLEY: The – well, I think it’s important – if you read the transcript of the White House press briefing today, I thought Jeff Bader went through this in some detail and laid out the U.S. position. We do believe that because the Senkaku Islands are under Japanese jurisdiction, that it is covered by the U.S.-Japan security treaty.
That said, we also stress that we don’t take a position on the sovereignty of the Senkaku Islands, but recognize current Japanese jurisdiction stemming back to the reversion of Okinawa to Japan. But Jeff made a good point, I think, that – it’s worth repeating, that that said, we do not envision that this current tension will rise to that level in any foreseeable scenario that we would envision.
