【 Anchor's Remarks 】
The fallout from the trade war has reached US troops in South Korea.
Trump does not separate the economy from security, and if allied nations benefit, he insists they should bear the costs.
There are speculations that the role of US troops in South Korea could change, and in severe cases, they might withdraw.
However, there are voices within America stating that the presence of US troops in South Korea also benefits the United States.
Reporter Joo Jin-hee reports.

【 Reporter 】
'If the tariffs are unsatisfactory, I will shift the security costs.' The Trump administration's stance seems firm.

▶ Interview: Scott Pessen / US Treasury Secretary (IIF Event)
- "If the US guarantees security and free markets, allied nations must increase their commitment to collective defense."

As forecasts of reductions or withdrawals of US troops in South Korea, which are costly, arise, criticism has been pouring in from American politics.

▶ Interview: Pat Ryan / US Congressman (9th of this month)
- "Will imposing a 25% tariff on Korea strengthen our alliance?"

▶ Interview: Pat Fallon / US Congressman (9th of this month)
- "With the threat of war on the Korean Peninsula and China's threat to Taiwan, is it better to have 50,000 US troops or 30,000? It's clear."

American experts are calling for a realistic analysis from the Trump administration.

They particularly analyze that strategically, US troops in South Korea are essential to deal with the new threat posed by China.

▶ Interview: Bruce Bennett / Senior Researcher at RAND Corporation
- "Think from the US perspective. There is no place more effective than Korea to counter China geographically."

▶ Interview: Victor Cha / CSIS Korea Chair
- "The issue is whether US troops in South Korea can be used outside Korea. Flexibility is expected to arise."

Although the ramifications of the trade war have reached US troops in South Korea, voices are gaining strength suggesting that due to their strategic importance, a withdrawal may be difficult.
