U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel speaks about local seafood inside commissary at Yokota Air Base, Japan [this base is contaminated with PFAS — see note below]

U.S. to feed troops Japanese seafood amid Fukushima radiation fears –Washington has agreed to help offset a Chinese ban on imports following Japan’s release of nuclear wastewater into the ocean 

The U.S. government has agreed to buy Japanese seafood for its military to help mitigate the economic fallout from Japan’s decision to release radioactive wastewater from its destroyed Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean. 

The American armed forces will sign a long-term contract with Japanese seafood suppliers to help counter China’s ban on imports from Japan, U.S. ambassador to Tokyo Rahm Emmanuel told the media on Monday. 

  “I’ve served the products to my own children; I continue to eat the products from the Fukushima area,” he said. “I’ve served the fish products to some of the highest elected officials in the United States government and armed forces, and we will continue to stand with our friends in Japan.”

Former U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is among those who dined with Emanuel on Japanese seafood, the ambassador said.

He said the seafood deal begins with scallops from Hokkaido, the northernmost of Japan’s four main islands, but eventually all types of fish will be sold in the commissaries at all 17 U.S. installations in Japan, at farmers markets on some U.S. bases and served on U.S. Navy ships.

This is how much the Biden administration loves our troops. Anything to keep Japan onside for the coming war with China.

Controversial Rahm Emanuel has been President Obama’s Chief of Staff, President Clinton’s Senior Advisor, and Mayor of Chicago.

PFAS Contamination at Yokata
Two wells near Yokata Air Base were tested and found to be severely contaminated with PFAS compounds. PFAS spills occurred there between 2010 and 2012, including one 800 gallon spill that seeped into the ground water., but the U.S. Air Force admits no responsibility. Hundreds of area residents have been tested and on average found to have above 20 parts per billion in their blood, “a level the American National Academies of  Sciences says is dangerous and merits a barrage of clinical tests to diagnose expected diseases.”
