Shorter Question Everything
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.
Somalia
The European Union is close to greenlighting the launch of a fresh Somali mission aimed at training the country’s army and militia. European officials said on Tuesday that the bloc is now planning to deploy some 100 troops to Uganda next year to train Somali government forces to fight insurgents battling the new UN-backed government.
