S. Korea, U.S. aim for deal this week on sharing USFK cost
  • 5 years ago
South Korea and the United States will begin another round of negotiations in the coming hours... on sharing the cost of stationing American troops on the peninsula.
With the existing agreement set to expire at the end of this year,... South Korean officials say they aim to strike a deal during the four-day talks that are set to open in Hawaii on Tuesday, local time.
It marks the ninth round of negotiations between the two allies on this issue.
Topping the agenda will be the Trump administration's call for a sharp increase in South Korea's contribution.
