Rep. Jin Sung-joon of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) criticized U.S. President Donald Trump for his recent remarks regarding Korea’s defense cost-sharing. Jin, who serves as head of the DPK’s policy committee, called Trump’s demand that Korea pay $10 billion to shoulder more of the cost for U.S. troops stationed on the peninsula “excessive and rude,” accusing the U.S. president of disrespecting a key ally. “Let me set the record straight,” Jin said during a policy coordination meeting at the National Assembly on July 10. “President Trump claimed that the U.S. provides military protection to Korea for free. That’s simply not true. Korea pays more than 1 trillion won each year for the U.S. military presence.” Jin also stated that Trump had said there are 45,000 U.S. troops in Korea, and gave the more accurate number of 28,000. Jin further argued that the U.S. military is using Korean territory at no cost and noted that Korea has purchased advanced American weapons — expenses that, he said, should also be considered part of the nation’s contributions to it
