"If Trump wins in 2020, he will pull US troops out of South Korea"
"Officials in Seoul laughed at his request for $5 billion to keep army [USA] presence"
"According to a report on July 30 from a South Korean newspaper, Washington has requested that the government in Seoul pay $5 billion next year for the continued presence of its armed forces [USA] on South Korean soil. This would be more than a fivefold increase from 2019, when Seoul paid $879 million."
A threat or a negotiating starting point?
