South Korea has confirmed that it will adhere to the terms of previously agreed defense cost-sharing arrangements with the United States. This confirmation comes amid former U.S. President Donald Trump's calls for an increase in South Korea's defense contributions. The South Korean Foreign Ministry referenced the existing Special Measures Agreement (SMA) on defense cost sharing, emphasizing compliance with the established terms. The reaffirmation was reported by Yonhap and highlights South Korea's commitment to the prior agreements despite external pressure for higher payments.
