Pence is on a 10-day, four-nation tour of Asia, where he's meeting with longtime USA allies South Korea and Japan. One of the major reasons why rather than approach the situation carefully and intelligently, Trump is wading in with a policy so confusing that the possibilities for an extreme cock up are nearly endless.

The White House said it based its statements on guidance from the Defense Department.
"We appreciate the challenging times in which the people of Japan live with increasing provocations from across the Sea of Japan", Pence said after arriving from Seoul for talks with Abe.
