It is very important that powerful countries around the world are worrying about the global situation. United Sates and Japan are making this agreements in order to benefit the enviroment. Japan is a country with big quantities of nuclear material thanks to the atomic bombas that Unites States dropped. In the article we can se the goal the US has with this plan, "The U.S. has a longstanding goal of reducing -- and safeguarding -- the world's stockpile of fissile material, in an effort to reduce access by terrorist groups, criminals and "unauthorized actors." ( McKirdy, 2014). The Japan goverment have show a great position and leadership toward the moment because they express their will of a world without nuclear weapons. Both countries are doing great things in order to prevent problems with nuclear material.
