South Korea's conservative presidential candidate Kim Moon-soo said yesterday he was willing to discuss sharing more of the cost of stationing the US military in the country, which US President Donald Trump has demanded over the years.

Mr Trump has indicated he wants to make the cost of basing tens of thousands of US troops in South Korea and in Japan a part of negotiations over import tariffs his government has announced against a host of countries, including Asian allies.

South Korea and the United States last agreed to a five-year plan in October to increase by 8.3% to 1.52 trillion won (36 billion baht) South Korea's share of the cost of maintaining the US military.
