After nearly a long and ten -round negotiations, the US -South Korea defensive expenses shared the special agreement with each other, and the agreement reached an agreement a few days ago.The Korean side agreed to increase the cost of 8.2%of the US military in South Korea. This year, it will bear a burden of US $ 920 million, keeping the government's $ 1 billion bottom line.This amount is lower than the US demand to increase the goal of 50%to 1.2 billion US dollars, and talks with Trump to ask the Korean side to afford a larger court.However, the duration of the two sides changed from the past three years to one year and one year, and it also kept the face of the United States.

After the United States and South Korea signed a special agreement for defense for defense in 1991, South Korea increased its cost sharing of the US military in South Korea year by year.The amount of the amount sharing is based on the consumption price index in South Korea for the first two years.Judging from the nine agreements signed by the United States and South Korea in the past, the cost growth rate has never exceeded 4%.This time, on the premise of Trump's request to equalize, the United States demanded that South Korea's burden of US $ 1.2 billion; such a lion's opening, of course, South Korea is unacceptable and has also made the negotiations in a deadlock.

After Trump came to power, according to the principles of users paid, the ratio of Japan, Germany, South Korea, and NATO increased the ratio of defense divisions.This shows that the United States has changed its international role positioning: the world police that will no longer play the world who maintains regional security, and become a priority of national economic interests that must be compared with baht.Due to Trump's pressure, Japan has greatly increased the sharing costs of the U.S. military in Japan since 2017. So far, its care budget (the U.S. military in Japan) has reached 7,600 billion yen, and the sharing ratio is as high as 76%. It is all the United States.The most military alliances.The US Minister of Defense Mattis, who stepped down, praised Japan as an exemplary student of the allies.With Japan's precedent, South Korea can also bargain with the United States, which shows that the Korean government's pressure is resistant.

From a substantive perspective, after last year, it became the main theme of the United States' policy on the Korean Peninsula policy on the condition that the U.S. military stationed in Korea was in Korea.The United States earlier to stop the United States and South Korea's military exercises to promote North Korea to close the Ningbian nuclear reaction furnace and missile launch base.Today, the Trust Second Association is about to be held in Hanoi, Vietnam at the end of this month. It is rumored that the United States may reduce the exchange of North Korea ’s fifteen intercontinental ballistic missiles to exchanged North Korea’ s exchanges in North Korea to relieve North Korea ’s threat to the United States.Under Trump repeatedly threatened to withdraw from the US military in South Korea, the Hangpot government can still strive for changes and reason, showing that South Korea's excessive toughness.

Different from Japan's full acceptance of the U.S. photos, South Korea uses domestic public opinion to respond to the United States' advancement.There was a lesson that had a foreign controversy due to the deployment of the Sade system, and the South Korean party in the wild party held an opposition to increasing the cost of the US military in South Korea.Li Zaiming, the mayor of Chengnan, known as Trump in South Korea, claimed that the US garrison in South Korea was for its own strategic interests, not to protect South Korea.The large -scale opening of the American lion also made the Korean people develop the United States, and domestic anti -American emotions rose.Back to the people's opinion, the South Korean government advocates that 1 trillion won as the largest psychological limit that South Korean citizens can bear, so as to draw the final political line of political defense for both parties.

In addition, South Korea also used a strategy to drag to change to deal with Trump's force.Regarding the request for a one -time increase of $ 1.2 billion in military expenditures (the total cost of US military in South Korea is US $ 2 billion), the South Korean government does not anger Trump, as long as the two parties can understand and respect each other to understand and respect each otherUnder the principles, reasonably adjust the amount of allocation.Since then, the South Korean government has proposed an excuse for consensus in 2014, saying that South Korea can only accept the 5.8%increase agreed by the United States and South Korea in 2014, and the conditions for about once every three to five years.As a result, the fatigue negotiations of stereotypes gradually moved to the bottom line proposed by the United States. In the end, the two parties obtained the most suitable balance point from the cognitive gap.

It can be seen that it is the main reason why South Korea can concessions to the United States under the relationship between the irregular alliance under the relationship between unequal alliances.This shows that the government should take the interests of its own country as a consideration. As long as the strategy is appropriate, the United States is not a piece of iron.The United States originally wanted to use South Korea's concessions as a template to force Germany and NATO to accept new military expenditure negotiations. This idea was obviously shattered.

Taiwan and South Korea are the allies in the United States to see South Korea's resistance to the United States. What about Taiwan?
