SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korea will follow the terms previously agreed with the United States on defence cost sharing, the Yonhap News Agency reported on Wednesday, citing a foreign ministry official.

The comments were in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent remarks suggesting South Korea needed to pay more for the U.S. troop presence in the country.
