【Trump: South Korea Should Pay for Its Own Defense Costs】On the 8th local time, U.S. President Trump stated at a Cabinet meeting at the White House that South Korea should pay for its own military defense costs and hinted that South Korea needs to pay more for the U.S. troops stationed there. Trump stated that the presence of U.S. military forces brings significant economic benefits to South Korea, while it is a huge loss for the United States, which is very unfair. Trump mentioned that he had previously made South Korea agree to pay more for the U.S. troops in South Korea during his first term, but "former President Biden canceled this agreement." Trump claimed that the U.S. provides supplies for the militaries of many very successful countries, but they should pay for their own militaries. According to reports, approximately 28,500 U.S. troops are currently stationed in South Korea.
