TOKYO: Japan and the United States resumed talks on Tuesday on a cost-sharing deal for US troops in Japan, Japanese government officials said.
The talks restarted after US President Joe Biden took office last month. The current five-year cost-sharing pact expires at the end of next month.
During Tuesday’s videoconference, Japanese officials are believed to have proposed extending the pact for about a year provisionally and discussing a full-fledged deal later.
Tokyo aims to keep the amount of its host-nation financial support for US troops in Japan unchanged under the provisional pact.
