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.
