Description:
- Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told President Barack Obama he’ll consider sending the country’s maritime forces to assist U.S. operations in the South China Sea. The comments in a bilateral meeting Thursday on the sidelines of an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Manila came after the U.S. sparked an angry reaction from China last month by sailing a warship close to an artificial island in waters that China views as its own territory.
