Japan's defense chief Fukushiro Nukaga is surrounded by reporters following his meeting with Yoshikazu Shimabukuro, mayor of the Okinawan city of Nago, which will be affected by U.S. military realignment plans, at the Defense Agency in Tokyo on Sunday March 26, 2006. Japan's Defense Agency chief met local officials Sunday in a last-ditch effort to seek support for a planned realignment of U.S. troops, a deeply divisive issue that has caused widespread disagreement between Tokyo and Washington. (AP Photo/Kyodo News)  TOKYO (AP) - Tokyo and Washington have postponed talks on realigning American troops in Japan, an official said Tuesday.

The two sides have not yet decided when to resume the talks, which had been scheduled to start Thursday in Washington, said Yu Kameoka, spokesman for Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi. He did not elaborate on the reason for the delay.

The two sides are reportedly split over how to divide the $10 billion cost of redeploying some 7,000 Marines from Japan to Guam.
