The Pentagon officially confirmed that the US Department of Defense is flexibly adjusting the US troops stationed abroad, and as a result, the statement saying that the current level of US forces in Korea is maintained in the last joint statement of the ROK-US Security Council has been deleted.



Defense Minister Seo-wook said yesterday (26th) that the expression of maintaining US forces in Korea was omitted in the joint statement of the ROK-US Security Council because of the flexible presence of US troops abroad. "We are talking about a treaty that is more important."
