Obama and Afganistan

During his meeting in Tokyo, President Barack Obama says he will soon decide how many more troops he will send to Afganistan. Although he plans to pursue terrorist threats to America regarless of which country they exist in, he states that US involvement in Afganistan is not "Open-ended".

Otherwise, his meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama produced cooperation between Japan and America over a number of issues, including climate change, nuclear non-proliferation and Afganistan. The issue of the American military base in the Japanese island of Okinawa has yet to be resolved.
