Trump: South Korea should pay for its own defense
Odaily News On the 8th local time, US President Trump said at a White House cabinet meeting that South Korea should pay for its own military defense and hinted that South Korea needs to pay more for the US troops stationed in South Korea. Trump said that the presence of US troops has brought huge economic benefits to South Korea, but it is a huge loss for the United States, which is very unfair. Trump said that he had asked South Korea to agree to pay more for US troops stationed in South Korea during his first term, but former President Biden canceled the agreement. Trump said that the United States provides supplies to the armies of many very successful countries, but they should pay for their own armies. It is reported that there are currently about 28,500 US troops stationed in South Korea.
