SEOUL -- The U.S. and South Korea are at a standoff over a cost-sharing deal for the 28,500 American troops stationed on the peninsula as President Donald Trump demands Seoul foot more of the bill.
The five-year Special Measures Agreement, which outlines cost sharing for U.S. forces in South Korea, expired Monday. Negotiations began in March but an agreement could not be reached at working-level talks that started here Dec. 11.
