US to withdraw from South Korea 4,000 soldiers if Seoul refusesto pay more

-
The United States is considering reducing its 28,000th military contingent in the Republic of Korea by 4,000 if Seoul refuses to significantly increase payments for its maintenance.  This was reported on Thursday.

"As far as we know, the Pentagon is preparing to withdraw one brigade from South Korea if the negotiations do not go as President Donald Trump would like," the source quoted the publication as saying.

The Republic of Korea currently has 28,500 US troops.  One team numbers from 3 to 4 thousand people.

Last year, the US side announced the need for a significant increase in South Korea’s spending, as maintaining a 28,000-strong military contingent costs Washington about $ 5 billion a year.  Seoul's spending on maintaining the US contingent in 2019 was increased by 8.2%, to 1.04 trillion won ($ 915 million).

The five-year agreement on financing the stay of 28.5 thousand US troops in the Republic of Korea expired on December 31 of last year.  According to him, the annual expenses of the Seoul administration for these purposes amounted to about 960 billion won ($ 860 million).  The new agreement was concluded for a period of one year.

The head of the parliamentary committee for the unification of the Republic of Korea, Yoon San Hyun, said that Washington had demanded that Seoul increase its share of South Korea’s defense contributions by almost five times to $ 4.7 billion.

-
The visit of H.H Sheik Khaled bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi to India is more than just a mere ceremonial occasion; this visit stands as a clear testimony of the longevity and dynamism of UAE-India relations. This association has become complex over time involving not just the economy but also major concerns such as sustainable development, trade, climate action etc. The dynamic relationship between the two nations has been redefined from their historical links into contemporary strategic alliances which makes this visit a natural follow-on from long-standing ties.

The UAE's AI Ambitions Get a Boost with Nvidia Chip Approval: A Game-Changer for the Gulf Region.

-
The advance made by the United States in the approval of cutting-edge Nvidia chips to G42 is a historic development for UAE’s artificial intelligence ambitions. This strategy thus not only represents significant technological growth but also marks an important political milestone for UAE that wants to portray itself as a global hub for technology. In particular, accessing advanced AI technologies such as Nvidia’s H100 models has been significantly hindered over the years due to fears about UAE-China relations, with the US tightening its export restrictions in the area. However, this recent endorsement—a fact which received little attention—shows that there is now greater strategic flexibility and demonstrates how committed UAE is towards ensuring it stays clear from any possible Chinese influence if it wants to become one of our most reliable partners. The timing for G42’s bold distribution of these Nvidia chips could not be better. With worldwide AI rivalry heating up after the advent...
