Trump feels slighted by China, signals global troop redeployment
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump responded to the military parade by saying that Beijing should have highlighted the U.S. assistance provided to China during World War II. He also hinted at the possibility of troop removals from countries other than Poland, raising concerns about a possible reduction of U.S. forces in Korea. Our Moon Ji-young reports.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he felt China slighted the U.S. by not sufficiently acknowledging its role in winning World War Two during a parade held to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the war's end. "I thought it was a beautiful ceremony. I thought it was very, very impressive I was very surprised. I watched the speech last night. The president is Xi, is a friend of mine. But I thought that the United States should have been mentioned last night during that speech because we helped China very, very much." This comes as Trump himself emphasized the immense help the U.S. provided to China in achieving its freedom.

Meanwhile, during a summit with Polish President Karol Nawrocki on the same day, President Trump praised Poland for exceeding its defense spending commitments among NATO allies, while clarifying that U.S. soldiers stationed there would remain. "If anything, we'll put more there if they want. But they've long wanted to have a larger presence. We have some countries that have more, not too many. But, no, they'll be staying in Poland."

However, he did state he would consider troop redeployments in other nations. A remark that further served as a reaffirmation of his broader plan for global U.S. troop reallocation. This comes amid lingering concerns that his administration might be considering a troop reduction in the roughly 28-thousand-5-hundred-strong U.S. Forces Korea as it seeks to shift the role, mission and operational scope of the command to focus more on deterring China.
-----------------
It remains to be seen whether the USFK will be subject to such a redeployment. During last week's summit with Korean President Lee Jae Myung, President Trump did not make specific remarks regarding a troop reduction, simply stating that he did not wish to speak on it at the moment, 'because they are friends.'
