“This is yet another reason why our Status of Forces Agreement with Japan is woefully inadequate to protect U.S. military personnel in Japan. @kishida230, you’ve got seven hours. Hand Lt. Alkonis over to U.S. custody immediately,” he wrote in an previous tweet, tagging Japan Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. “If you don’t hand him over in the next seven hours, a series of conversations will begin tomorrow to inform Americans of how poorly you’re treating our military personnel—not just Ridge Alkonis, but all 55,000 U.S. forces in Japan.”
Alkonis was once sentenced to 3 years in jail for inflicting a perilous automotive crash in 2021, despite the fact that many Americans argue his imprisonment is unjust. Lee has floated the potential for blocking off a sale of tomahawk missiles to Japan over the incident.
