美, 방위비분담금 새 원칙 통보 임박…증액 압박 관측

The U.S. is in the final stage of reviewing its defense cost-sharing agreements,... and is likely to explain its conclusions to South Korea soon.
This is according to a report Thursday by Seoul-based Yonhap News Agency, citing a source familiar with foreign affairs.
The Blue House also said the allies' national security advisors agreed Wednesday to continue related talks in a reasonable and fair way.
The details are unknown, but the plan will likely reflect President Trump's push for Seoul to contribute more.
The allies agreed in March that South Korea will pay almost 925 million U.S. dollars for the stationing of American troops this year, an on-year hike of eight-point-two percent.
Both sides normally agree to five-year deals, but the latest one is only for 2019.
