On November 21, a Washington source said the U.S. was working on a plan to withdraw a brigade from South Korea. The decision has been made mainly because of the irreconcilable dispute between the United States and South Korea in previous discussions on defense-sharing. In the latest U.S.-and-Korean security conference, the United States has called on South Korea to increase the cost of defense-sharing and to reduce its fiscal pressure to the United States. But the u. s. 's appetite is so large that it directly puts up a share of $5 billion a year, which is five times more than $8.7 billion a year before the country. The discussions in the United States and South Korea continued Less than an hour ended in a break-up, suggesting that South Koreans are reluctant to accept the conditions that Americans are so bullied.
However, for a country in a state of temporary truce, as well as a country at an absolute geographical disadvantage, we should also understand South Korea's reliance on the United States. In view of its hopeless permanent reconciliation with the North, as well as the increasing number of missile tests and all kinds of circumstances that are detrimental to itself, it is also understandable to allow the United States to stationed and hand over its war command in exchange for common advance and retreat.
Before the talks broke down, South Korea had warned the United States that their psychological bottom line should not exceed $1 billion. Americans suddenly raise the asking price to five times the psychological bottom line of Koreans, which is undoubtedly too deceiving, and it is understandable that South Korea will refuse so categorically. In this case, the withdrawal is indeed a card that the United States can use to threaten South Korea. After all, the US garrison in South Korea represents the US commitment to South Korea, and the reduction of US troops actually hides the subtext of the United States. If you do not pay, I will not protect your subtext. Objectively speaking, if the number of US troops is reduced to a certain extent, it is true. It will put South Korea in a more dangerous position, after all, South Korea still has to face the risk of instability on the peninsula.
One thing is clear: given the importance of South Korea in the far East, the White House will not relax control of South Korea, but will continue to start pricing. It may be too early for South Korea to get rid of American control.
It's not an easy task for Americans to give South Korea more military spending, and it's a task that can't be done at a time when the amount is so high. Although South Korea is in a vulnerable position in its relations with the United States, Americans can't expect to call South Korea, like a slave, even to make the trump as a threat to South Korea, and the Seoul side will not make such a big concession on the issue of defence costs. The U. S. will be ready to pay more than $1 billion in defense-sharing.

It seems, however, that the so-called withdrawal plan of the United States can only be the movement of a stone to its own feet, and that it will not really let the Republic of Korea make concessions. The reason is that the U.S. has passed a bill in which the number of U.S. troops stationed in South Korea should not be less than 2.2 million, and that the U.S. troop now has a total of 2.85 million in South Korea, and no matter how the Americans want to withdraw, the largest number of people who can withdraw is only 6,500. The calm in the peninsula now, the withdrawal of a brigade or more than 6,000 people will not have a immediate impact on the security of South Korea. instead, the South Korean people, have long been in such a large number of U.S. troops It was extremely dissatisfied that the proper withdrawal would make the South Korean people more pleased.
South Korea has rejected the U.S. demand for defense-sharing to $5 billion, a big victory for the vulnerable South Korea. In order to provide protection to its allies, or to maintain its military presence in various parts of the world, the United States has deployed its own troops to many countries. South Korea is an important military base in the United States in the Asia-Pacific region. The total number of U.S. troops in the region reached 2.85 million, an important outpost in the United States for deterrence of the Asia-Pacific region. The U.S. troops stationed here are spending a lot of military spending every year and have a heavy financial burden on the United States. The businessman at the White House is a very business businessman who is reluctant to pay for the money himself, so he has been urging allies to increase military spending since taking office. South Korea is a typical example of being forced by the United States.
