미 국방장관 "한국에서 미군 철수 명령 내린적 없다"
U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper clarified on Tuesday local time,... that he has not issued any orders to withdraw troops from South Korea.
Speaking at a web seminar organized by the International Institute for Strategic Studies, the defense chief explained there are plans to assess how well American forces are being optimized and positioned across the world.
This comes amid speculation that the White House was provided with options to reduce troop presence on the Peninsula.
Seoul's defense ministry firmly denied such reports, saying the issue was not discussed during Tuesday's phone meeting between the defense chiefs of both sides.
