As I read it, it's Japan that operates and Japan that plans to expand exports, but truthfully, that would require a comma after "Japan."
It's possible that the US intends to enhance cooperation and the US that plans to expand exports.
Not a great sentence.

Thank you for the reply. I'm ashamed to misread "plans" as "plants".
