SEOUL - Top U.S. military officer General Mark Milley met with his South Korean counterpart on Thursday to discuss military cooperation and the North Korea threat while seeking more money to pay for American troops stationed in the country.
Also high on the agenda is South Korea’s decision to scrap an intelligence-sharing pact with Japan known as GSOMIA, as relations between the two U.S. allies sink to their lowest in decades. U.S. President Donald Trump’s insistence Seoul take on a greater share of the cost of 28,500-strong American military presence as deterrence against North Korea has rattled South Korea. It could also set a precedent for upcoming U.S. negotiations on defense cost-sharing with other allies.
Esper said on Wednesday he was open to changes in U.S. military activity on the Korean Peninsula if it helped enable diplomats, who are trying to jump-start stalled peace efforts with North Korea. The meetings’ agenda includes U.S. calls for Seoul to reconsider its decision to scrap the intelligence-sharing pact with Japan, called GSOMIA, Esper and Milley said. The pact, which South Korea decided not to renew, expires on November 23.
