U.S. President Joe Biden is ticking off his administration’s to-do list for shoring up America’s alliances in Asia.
On Sunday, the U.S. State Department announced that Washington and Seoul had reached a tentative deal on a “meaningful increase” in cost-sharing for hosting American troops in South Korea, less than a month after concluding a one-year deal with Japan.
The breakthrough was expected to impact ongoing U.S. talks on a longer-term agreement with Tokyo.
Known as a “Special Measures Agreement” (SMA), the deal announced Sunday is expected to be for multiple years and will replace the previous arrangement that expired at the end of 2019 under then-U.S. President Donald Trump.
