The US military said it would withdraw its troops stationed in South Korea, what is the truth behind it?

South Korea is the second largest ally of the United States in Asia. The first is of course Japan. However, South Korea is also very important in the heart of the United States. Otherwise, how could it be possible to continuously send troops to South Korea? As of now, there are about 20,000 US troops stationed in South Korea.

Recently, the US military claimed that it would withdraw some US troops stationed in South Korea. This move shocked South Korea. After all, the US military has been stationed in South Korea for decades, and the number of US troops stationed in South Korea every year is generally It is said that it is all about growth, but it has chosen to withdraw its troops a few days ago. Even South Korea is very surprised.

Earlier, the United States and South Korea held negotiations on the issue of who should bear the military expenses of the US military stationed in South Korea. Both sides insisted on their own opinions. As for the final result of the negotiations, it is unknown. However, The issue of concern about the maintenance costs of South Korea's THAAD has been resolved through negotiations between South Korea and the United States. The South Korean Ministry of National Defense agreed to bear part of the maintenance costs.

However, the US military has been stationed in South Korea for decades. I believe it is completely impossible for the US military to completely withdraw its troops. However, the US military has made plans to withdraw some of its troops. This is completely an irreversible process, which means that this is inevitable and withdrawal is imperative.

U.S. military experts said that the withdrawal of U.S. troops was completely expected. Why do they say this? After all, the U.S. stationed in South Korea is not to form a military base in South Korea, but to form constraints. But judging from the withdrawal of the US military, it may be to be able to concentrate on facing new threats, that is, facing emerging countries in recent years, China and Russia!
