Top court rules in favor of U.S. base relocation in Okinawa

Okinawa Gov. Takeshi Onaga sits down for a news conference at the prefectural government building in Naha on Dec. 20, 2016, after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the central government in a dispute with Okinawa over the relocation of a U.S. air base within the southern island prefecture. Onaga said he will "promptly" withdraw an action he took last year to block the relocation of the U.S. Marine Corps' Air Station Futenma. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
