South Korean President rejected US Troop withdrawal

Seoul, May 2 South Korean President Moon Jae In has rejected pulling back US troops from the nation if a peace arrangement were to be marked to formally end the Korean War.

The issue has nothing to do with North Korea, yet just with the Korea-U.S. cooperation, he included, according to Yonhap news office report.

"U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) involves the South Korea-U.S. alliance. It has nothing to do with signing a peace arrangement," the president stated, as indicated by his representative Kim Eui-kyeom.

An official from the presidential office, Cheong Wa Dae earlier dismissed the possibility, featuring the part of USFK as a mediator between neighbouring superpowers like China and Japan.

As of now, around 28,500 U.S. troops are positioned in South Korea. American officers are kept up there since the finish of the Korean War in a cease-fire that left the two Koreas actually still at war.

In a historic point summit on Friday, Moon and North Korean pioneer Kim Jong-un consented to push for a peace bargain which would end the 1950-53 Korean War formally.

Many nations, for example, China, Russia and Japan and the United Nations (UN) have adulated the outcome and positivity of the fruitful summit. They sought after consummation of threats and squeezing for peace, denuclearise and compromise of the Korean Peninsula.
