The US has 24,500 troops in South Korea. SK now pay US$ 1 billion to the US for the protection offered by these troops. Donald Trump want to ask a few times more.
What is a fair sum? I think it should be $100,000 for each troop. So SK should pay $2.5 billion - if they have to pay the full cost.
But the troops also serve US interest. So, perhaps, it should be shared equally, say $1.25 billion for each side. The current sum of $1 billion that SK pays is reasonable. The sum asked by Donald Trump is excessive.
What a mercenary!
