WASHINGTON (Kyodo) The U.S. government is exploring possible changes to Tokyo's policies after the resignation of Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama, particularly on the relocation of a U.S. Marine base in Okinawa.
Japan and the United States released a joint statement Friday stating a fresh agreement to relocate U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma to the Henoko coast of Nago, largely in line with an accord struck in 2006.
