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 brings huge economic benefits to South Korea and huge losses to the United States, which is very unfair. Trump said 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 cancelled the agreement". Trump said that the United States provides supplies to the militaries of many very successful countries, but they should pay for their own troops. It is reported that South Korea currently has about 28,500 US troops stationed.
