WASHINGTON -- The U.S. has conveyed to Japan that Washington would like to deploy midrange missiles there as part of its military exercises, bolstering deterrence against China, according to a senior American defense official.
Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth told the Defense News Conference event in Virginia on Wednesday that the issue was brought up on her visit to Tokyo in early August, a trip that included a meeting with Japanese Defense Minister Minoru Kihara.
