South Korea will follow terms previously agreed with the United States on defense cost sharing, its foreign ministry said on Wednesday, following a call by U.S. President Donald Trump for Seoul to pay more for the U.

The country’s new president, in office for a little over a month, had just dispatched his senior deputies to Washington to try to work out a trade deal.

Korea's Foreign Ministry said Wednesday it will comply with the existing terms of the defense cost-sharing deal with the United States, after U.S. President Donald Trump said Seoul should pay for its own defense.
