주한미군 사령관 에이브럼스, 미군 주둔은 종전선언이나 평화협정과는 무관
The Commander of U.S. Forces Korea has reaffirmed that the stationing of American troops on the peninsula does not depend on any peace treaty, or lack thereof, between the parties to the Korean War.
In a statement released Friday afternoon, General Robert Abrams said the Seoul-Washington millitary alliance is stronger than ever,... and has been serving as a strategic deterrent... to any potential crisis or provocation.
The statement came... a few days after the Commander remarked to the Senate Armed Services Committee... that American troops need to stay here UNTIL a peace treaty is signed with the North.
That prompted speculation that the U.S. might withdraw its forces if a peace deal is signed.
