Sen. Mike Lee pushed back against a Japanese government official who said Lee's speech on the Senate floor addressing the imprisonment of Navy Lt. Ridge Alkonis was incorrect.
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Sen. Mike Lee pushed back Friday against a Japanese government official who said Lee's speech on the U.S. Senate floor this week addressing the imprisonment of Navy Lt. Ridge Alkonis was incorrect.
On Friday, an anonymous Japanese foreign ministry spokesperson responded to Lee's remarks, saying they were "contrary to the facts and cannot be accepted," and that the ministry has lodged an official complaint with the U.S. government, according to a report from Stars and Stripes."Hayashi can quibble over nuanced language and whether he *officially* agreed, or rely on customary disclaimers voiced in the meeting.
"At a minimum, any agreement between the United States and a foreign country should provide adequate legal protections for American servicemembers," LeeAlkonis is eight months into a three-year prison sentence, after pleading guilty to negligent driving in the deaths of an 85-year-old Japanese woman and her 54-year-old son-in-law on May 29, 2021.
"We've waited long enough. Ridge Alkonis has waited long enough, and his wife, Brittany Alkonis, has waited long enough," Lee said in his floor speech.
