South Korea to pay more to house US troops

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

South Korea will pay nearly 14 percent more in 2021 to host U.S. soldiers, according to the terms of an agreement between the two countries announced Wednesday.

Details of the agreement come three days after the State Department's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs said a "negotiated increase" had been reached with Seoul.

The Associated Press reports that the new deal applies to 2021, with additional increases matching upticks in the South Korean national defense budget the next four years.

South Korea will be covering about 44 percent of the cost of hosting American troops, excluding military and civilian salaries.
