Talks between the White House and South Korea over President Trump ’s demands that Seoul to pay more for U. S. military operations on the Korean peninsula have stalled.
Despite repeated rounds of bilateral talks going back to March, American and South Korean negotiators fell short of a final deal over how much the key U. S. ally in the Pacific should subsidize costs tied to the American military mission in Korea.
“We’ve come to agreement on almost all elements but could not make it final because of differences on the total scale of the deal,” a senior South Korean foreign ministry official told Reuters, shortly after the most recent round negotiations wrapped up last week.
