South Korea not in talks with US on downsizing American forces in country
South Korea and the US have not held any discussions on the downsizing or withdrawal of American forces in the country, Foreign minister nominee Cho Hyun said Tuesday.
Cho made the comments in a statement submitted to members of the parliamentary Foreign Affairs and Unification Committee ahead of his confirmation hearing scheduled for Thursday, Yonhap News Agency reported. His remarks came amid continued speculation that US President Donald Trump's administration may downsize the 28,500-strong US Forces Korea (USFK) or redefine their role to focus on deterring Chinese threats.
