Sina US Stock News reported on the 26th, Beijing time. According to a report by South Korea's “Chosun Ilbo”, just a few days before the current military spending sharing agreement expired, the US abandoned the requirement that South Korea increase its share of US military expenses for the US military stationed in South Korea by 4 times to 5 billion US dollars, while South Korea promised that it would purchase more US weapons.

The report quoted anonymous diplomats as saying that South Korea also said it would strengthen its military presence in the Strait of Hormuz to help the US protect oil flows in the region. The military spending that the US is asking South Korea to share is probably only 10-20% higher than the current share of nearly 1 billion US dollars.
