If you know anything about Rahm Emanuel, it's that speaking diplomatically may not be his forte. And yet, his current post demands it. The former White House Chief of Staff (called, in his day, a "pitbull") and the polarizing Mayor of Chicago now serve as the US Ambassador to Japan, one of the US's closest allies. Ian Bremmer was in Tokyo for an exclusive interview with Emanuel. And though the Ambassador did his best to remain "diplomatic," there were flashes of the "pitbull" as well.

In a wide-ranging interview, the Ambassador discusses Japan's critical role as a key US ally in the Asia-Pacific and a bulwark against an ever-expanding China. Emanuel also discusses a recent trilateral meeting between the US, Japan, and South Korea at the Camp David presidential compound and the significance of these alliances in countering aggression and promoting diplomacy. Perhaps he is most wary of drifting out of his lane when commenting on wars in the Middle East and Europe. But he does touch on the polarization of the Israel-Palestine issue and the need for a moral grounding in addressing the conflict.
