She told [[Japan[[ that the US-Japan alliance is a “cornerstone” of American foreign policy.  She met publicly with Yukio Hatoyama, the opposition leader, who won a landslide election in Sept, 2009.  The question is whether the new government will continue to follow a strongly pro-American foreign policy regarding economic affairs, [[North Korea]], and the issue of 47,000 troops American troops stationed there. Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama in his electioncampaign vowed to review a 2006 agreement to relocate the U.S. Marine Corps Futenma Air Base from an urban to a coastal part of the southern island of Okinawa.  The base has angered residents because of aircraft noise and friction with U.S. servicemen; while in opposition  Hatoyama  suggested it could be moved off the island altogether, a move Washington has strongly opposed.
