Some U.S. politicians are voicing concerns on reports the White House might cut the number of U.S. troops stationed in South Korea.
Representative Ami Bera, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Asia, the Pacific and Nonproliferation at the House Foreign Affairs Committee, tweeted the Wall Street Journal's recent report on the plans,... saying it would be "irresponsible."
He added the U.S.' partnership with South Korea not only ensures peace and prosperity in the region, but protects American security.
Senator Ben Sasse said it would be "strategic incompetence."
The Wall Street Journal reported last Friday that the Pentagon has presented the White House with options to reduce the American military presence in South Korea as their defense cost sharing negotiations remain in stalemate.
