FILE - In this Oct. 23, 2016 file photo, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, center standing, reviews members of Japan Self-Defense Forces (SDF) during the Self-Defense Forces Day at Asaka Base, north of Tokyo. Japan is debating whether to develop limited pre-emptive strike capability and buy cruise missiles - ideas that were anathema in the pacifist country before the North Korea missile threat. Abe, since taking office in 2012, has expanded Japan’s military role, allowing it to take on a greater task in international peacekeeping. (AP Photo/Eugene Hoshiko, File)
