Feb. 14 (UPI) — The issue of stationed U. S. troops in South Korea is to be treated separately from any progress made on North Korea denuclearization, according to a South Korean press report.
South Korean government officials said Thursday the status of U. S. Forces Korea, the more than 28,000 troops stationed on the peninsula, is “not related” to denuclearization talks, Newsis reported.
According to Seoul, the U. S. Department of Defense has not discussed any plans to withdraw or reduce U. S. troops in connection to potential developments that include an end-of-war declaration between Washington and Pyongyang.
