WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday (July 8) South Korea should be paying for its own military protection and suggested the US ally needed to pay more for the US troop presence there, a day after saying he planned to impose a 25 per cent tariff on its imports.
"It's very unfair. We supply the militaries to many very successful countries," Trump told reporters at a meeting of his Cabinet at the White House.
