TOKYO -- Japan will work more closely with the U.S. on cutting carbon dioxide emissions under President-elect Joe Biden's administration, Japanese Environment Minister Shinjiro Koizumi says, describing it as a new bond between the allies.
"We would like to expand this new cooperative area of decarbonization in the Japan-U.S. alliance," Koizumi told Nikkei during a recent interview, saying a new government-wide policy for cooperation would be proposed as early as January.
