The United States has not asked Tokyo to pay more to keep its troops in the country, Japan`s defence minister said, after a report cited former National Security Adviser John Bolton as saying he conveyed President Donald Trump`s demand for an USD 8 billion annual payment. Negotiations over the cost of hosting (American troops) have not started yet," Defence Minister Taro Kono said.
