Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has begun a visit to the United States. Mr. Abe will visit four cities and will meet with President Barack Obama. On Wednesday, the Japanese leader will speak to a joint meeting of the U.S. Congress.
The United States and Japan plan to expand their military cooperation. High-level officials from the two countries met in New York Monday before announcing changes to a defense cooperation agreement. The measure was last amended in 1997.
