US and Japan
Washington says Japan has no alternative to housing a US air base on its soil, after Tokyo signaled it could remove the outpost altogether. “The existing plan is the only feasible one and that is the view of the entire US government after 15 years of negotiation,” US Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Asia-Pacific region Wallace Gregson was quoted as saying by a Japanese government official, the Reuters news agency reported. The former Japanese government had agreed to keep the Futenma air station in the southern island of Okinawa provided that Washington would agree with the relocation of some 8,000 US marines in Japan to the US territory of Guam.
