NYT: Trump instructed to prepare the withdrawal of contingent from South Korea
Donald Trump intends to at least reduce the US military presence in South Korea. NYT sources link this decision with the plans of the DPRK and South Korea to conclude a peace treaty.
US President Donald Trump instructed the Pentagon to prepare options for troop reduction in South Korea, writes “Voice of America» with reference to the newspaper New York Times.
At the same time, according to the publication, the reduction of the American contingent is not planned to be used as a bargaining chip at negotiations between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on Pyongyang’s nuclear program, which is scheduled for the end of May or the beginning of June.
However, according to the American authorities, the conclusion of a peace treaty between the two Koreas may weaken the need for the presence of the American military on the peninsula.
At the moment there are 23 500 military personnel.
At the same time, according to sources, the complete withdrawal of American troops is unlikely, writes New York Times.
However, according to the press service of the President of South Korea, a representative of the US National Security Council during a telephone conversation told a South Korean official who had arrived in Washington that the message of the newspaper was not true.
In late April, South Korean President Moon Zhe Ying Meets with his colleague Kim Jong Un.
They, in particular, signed the Panmunjom Declaration, which implies that “there will never be war on the Korean Peninsula and thus a new era will begin, an era of peace.”
