The last defense secretary of the Trump administration, Mark Esper, said in a recent memoir that Trump actually pressured the withdrawal of US troops from Korea during his tenure.



In his memoir, 'The Sacred Oath', in his memoir, 'Sacred Oath', after two years, former Secretary Esper revealed the secrets of the Trump era in detail, and said: He confessed that it was actually true that he had put pressure on him several times while discussing the withdrawal of US forces from Korea.



Former President Trump promised to raise South Korea's defense cost-sharing by 400% from the previous level to up to $5 billion a year, but he even confessed that he did not know the basis for the calculation.



In the US Indo-Pacific Strategy, former Secretary of State Esper emphasized that the presence of US forces in Korea is essential to contain North Korea as well as China, which is competing strategically.



He predicted that if former President Trump re-elected in the next presidential election in 2024, he could actually push for a withdrawal of U.S. troops from Korea.



He also argued that economically developed countries such as South Korea, Japan and Germany need to raise their defense cost-sharing to the level of half that of the United States.



Esper said he wanted to step down mid-term, but he remained in office to defend the Constitution, preventing former President Trump from making bad decisions.



While former President Trump is constantly seeking to expand his political influence for a comeback, President Biden's approval rating has fallen to an all-time low as prices skyrocketed and the powdered milk crisis overlapped.
