TOKYO -- Japan and the U.S. are negotiating the thorny issue of how much financial burden Tokyo should carry for hosting American troops. But with Japan already shouldering 80% of the cost, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are opposed to taking on more of the bill.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump wanted Tokyo to pay $8 billion a year, roughly four times the current sum, according to former national security adviser John Bolton's memoir.
