国務省記者会見記録27日

QUESTION: The Wall Street Journal last Thursday said that U.S. officials were
seeking assurances from Japan that Prime Minister ? Yasukuni ? will not make
a repeat visit to the shrine. And they’re also calling on the Japanese to
refrain from further comment and actions that might fuel tensions in East Asia.
And I’m wondering why the U.S. Government would take that approach. Was the
disappointment comment earlier not enough?
WSJが、米国高官が日本に対して、首相の靖国参拝を控えるように要請したという記事

MS. PSAKI: Well, thank you for your question. We have expressed, as you noted,
disappointment in the past, several weeks ago. Our position hasn’t changed.
The report in The Wall Street Journal is inaccurate. We have always said we
want Japan and its neighbors to deal with sensitive issues constructively and
through dialogue, but it is inaccurate that we are seeking private assurances.
WSJ記事は事実ではなく、我々がそういう要請をしたことはない
