WASHINGTON, July 31 (UPI) -- The whistleblowing website Wikileaks released documents that show the United States has spied on 35 Japanese politicians, cabinet officials and corporations, including Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and car manufacturing giant Mitsubishi.
The documents, which appear to be five U.S. National Security Agency reports, four that are marked top secret, detail internal Japanese discussions on issues that include trade, climate change and nuclear policy. The documents also indicate the U.S. spied on Bank of Japan officials, Mitsubishi and Matsui.
