New Okinawa minister says Japan-U.S. SOFA should be "re-examined"

Tetsuma Esaki, the new minister in charge of issues related to Okinawa, enters the prime minister's office in Tokyo on Aug. 8, 2017. Esaki said the same day that the Japan-U.S. status of forces agreement should be "re-examined" in light of the fatal crash off Australia involving an Okinawa-based Marine Corps Osprey aircraft, likely overstepping Tokyo's official line on the politically sensitive pact.
