South Korea this week agreed to pay 8.3 percent more to host 28,500 US troops in the country, a deal hastily closed amid fears that US presidential candidate Donald Trump would ask for even more if he were elected. Meanwhile, according to a report by the South Korean Ministry of Justice, US troops are committing more and more crimes in the country.
