Seoul’s announcement coincided with growing resentment at the $5 billion (£3.9bn) annual fee that Washington is demanding to keep 28,500 US troops in South Korea.

That figure is a sharp increase from the $923 million that Seoul paid this year, which was an 8 per cent increase on the previous year.

Our White baboon aka Trump has been doing a great job since he has been the president. He has so many demands from all allies. Why in the hell South Korean would pay $5 billion?  South Korean should kick out American soldiers. The cold war has been over long ago and there's no need for American troops to stay there.
