WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The governor of Okinawa has asked Japan and the United States to remove all of the nearly 20,000 U.S. Marines from the southern Japanese island chain, he said on Tuesday.
Governor Keiichi Inamine said he also requested the downsizing or relocation of U.S. air bases of Kadena and Futenma away from Okinawa's densely populated main island and revision of the Status of Forces Agreement, which grants the U.S. military jurisdiction over its troops in many legal matters.
