Calibrated Allied Controls

Washington and Tokyo align on AI model-security rules, cloud-computing screening, and chip-equipment licensing without announcing a sweeping new export-control package. This is the most likely path because the pact comes just days after U.S.-China AI and rare earth talks restarted, giving both allies an incentive to signal firmness without derailing the summit.
