Japan Protests U.S. Marine's Murder Accusation

Original: Japan Protests After U.S. Marine Accused of Murder https://www.wsj.com/world/asia/japan-protests-after-u-s-marine-accuse

Japan has filed a protest with the United States after a U.S. Marine was accused of murder, according to the Wall Street Journal. The case is likely to renew long-standing friction over the American military presence in Japan and the legal treatment of U.S. service members accused of crimes there.

Why now: The case touches on sensitive tensions between Japan and the U.S. over the status of American forces stationed in Japan.
