After Trump’s Demand, South Korea Signs Deal to Pay More for US Troops

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...070ec5b11e-238318549

South Korea will pay $60 million more for the upkeep of U.S. troops on its territory—this after President Donald Trump demanded that Seoul boost its contribution. The two nations inked a short-term deal on Feb. 10 increasing South Korea’s annual bill by 6.75 percent to $890 million.

On the campaign trail, Trump promised U.S. voters that he would fight to secure fair deals for the United States on the world stage. America’s NATO allies have boosted military spending by $100 billion after similar demands from Trump.

The South Korean Parliament has to approve the agreement before it becomes final. Unlike prior deals, which have lasted five years, the one signed on Feb. 10 expires in one year. Bargaining for 2020 funding is likely to restart in months.

“It has been a very long process, but ultimately a very successful process,” South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha said at a meeting before another official from the foreign ministry signed the agreement.

The U.S. State Department’s senior adviser for security negotiations and agreements, Timothy Betts, met Kang before signing the agreement on behalf of the United States and told her the money represented a small but important part of South Korea’s support for the alliance.

“The United States government realizes that South Korea does a lot for our alliance and for peace and stability in this region,” he said.

About 70 percent of South Korea’s payment funds the salaries of some 8,700 South Korean workers who provide administrative, technical, and other services for the U.S. military. Late last year, the U.S. military had warned the South Korean employees on its bases that they may be put on leave from mid-April if no agreement was reached.

Seoul and Washington have held 10 rounds of talks since March, amid Trump’s calls for South Korea to pay more. South Korean officials pushed for a three-year deal keeping their annual contribution around $864 million. U.S. officials demanded as much as $1.2 billion per year.

The allies worked to finalize an agreement in order to minimize the impact on South Koreans working on U.S. military bases, and focus on nuclear talks ahead of a second U.S.–North Korea summit, Seoul officials said.

On Feb. 10, South Korea’s Foreign Ministry said that the United States had affirmed it would not be changing the scale of its troop presence.

During his annual State of the Union Address on Feb. 5, Trump announced that he will meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for a second time on Feb. 27-28 in Vietnam. The two leaders held their first unprecedented meeting in June last year in Singapore.

The Singapore summit resulted in a joint agreement in which Kim committed to denuclearize his nation, pursue peace with South Korea, establish relations with the United States, and repatriate the remains of American soldiers. After the meeting, Trump suspended major joint military exercises with South Korea. Since the summit, Pyongyang has not tested any nuclear weapons or ballistic missiles.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in plans to discuss the upcoming summit with Trump soon, according to a spokesman from the Blue House. The spokesman, Kim Eui-kyeom, also confirmed that officials from Pyongyang and Washington plan to meet next week in an unspecified Asian country.

Description

INTERVIEW — JOE DIGENOVA – legal analyst and former U.S. Attorney to the District of Columbia

VA CONTROVERSY: Joe shares histhoughts on the VA governor and Lt. Gov controversy:
FAIRFAX FACING INCREASING PRESSURE, NORTHAM VOWS TO STAY: Facing two allegations of sexual assault, Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax is facing increasing pressure to resign as Democratic legislators on Sunday circulated a draft resolution to start impeachment proceedings against him … Meanwhile, in an interview with CBS News, embattled Virginia Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam vowed to remain in office because “there’s no better person” to help the state “heal” from the multitude of scandals rocking its leadership than a doctor like himself.
Virginia’s lieutenant governor, Justin E. Fairfax has refused to resign in the face of sexual assault allegations, giving Democrats an excruciating choice: whether to impeach a black leader at a moment when the state’s two other top leaders, both white, are also resisting calls to quit after admitting to racist behavior. A second woman said on Friday that Mr. Fairfax had sexually assaulted her, echoing an accusation made earlier in the week.
WHITAKER: Matthew G. Whitaker, the acting attorney general told the House Judiciary Committee on Friday that he had never used his position to provide inside information about the Russia investigation to President Trump or his proxies. During a somewhat contentious oversight hearing, he also said he had “not interfered in any way with the special counsel’s investigation.” But he refused to discuss his conversations with Mr. Trump or why he recently said the special counsel’s inquiry would soon wrap up.
SANDMAN SUIT: Sandmann Lawyer L. Lin Wood: ‘Nathan Phillips Will Be Sued’: Atlanta libel lawyer L. Lin Wood, who represents smeared Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann, made it clear that Native activist Nathan Phillips “will be sued for his defamatory lies.” Wood told LifeSite News that Phillips is on his list of lawsuit targets, which includes major media figures and mainstream news organizations.

Boom: Best economic optimism in 16 years, 50% ‘better off’ under Trump

I have searched for this, but have been unsuccessful. A few months ago there was a listing of President Trump's achievements. It was over 200 items long. Can someone point me to that list? Thanks!

I normally try to avoid watching videos as they are usually a waste of time. Also I normally don’t seek political wisdom from animated cats.
However in this case I made an exception, watched the whole thing, and now I’m thinking I need to set up a little altar to the Grey Kitteh. Just kidding, God!

Rasmussen has Trump approval at 52% today.

Genius.

That is OUR President!! Thank God for President Donald Trump.

Fox sucks, watched 45 minutes of speech, just to hear what Trump said on border/wall, and they cut in for a news break/commercial. Talk about not reading the room. Morons.

Since the Demonrats are not negotiating in good faith ....

I'm watching on Conservative Treehouse. They have 2 or 3 different feeds going now.

Today's CNN headline says Trump's a racist because he calls out the whiter than white fake indian lady.
They use the claim that he's ignorant and doesn't know history because he didn't know the Trail of Tears started in Mississippi (it actually started in Lumpkin County, GA).

Nothing Trump says will ever please the MSM, suffering from a serious case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. I thought "See you on the campaign TRAIL..." was a very clever slam, but the NY Times made an incredible leap of logic and associated it with the Trail of Tears. Ergo, TRUMP HATES INDIANS!

Trump Mocks Warren With Apparent Reference to Trail of Tears, Which Killed Thousands

By Sarah Mervosh
Feb. 10, 2019

When Senator Elizabeth Warren formally announced her 2020 presidential bid this weekend, President Trump responded with a familiar line of attack.

He mocked Ms. Warren, Democrat of Massachusetts, for her claims to Native American ancestry, again calling her by the slur “Pocahontas.” Mr. Trump then appeared to refer to the Trail of Tears, the infamously cruel forced relocation of Native Americans in the 19th century that caused thousands of deaths.

“Will she run as our first Native American presidential candidate, or has she decided that after 32 years, this is not playing so well anymore?” Mr. Trump tweeted. “See you on the campaign TRAIL, Liz!”

(Ms. Warren had recently apologized to the Cherokee Nation for taking a DNA test to prove her ancestry.)

The comments drew immediate blowback on social media, with accusations that the president was making light of one of the worst tragedies Native Americans have experienced. Mr. Trump previously invoked the Wounded Knee massacre, one of the deadliest attacks on Native American people by the United States military, in another jab at Ms. Warren.

“He actually is condoning a narrative that supports a genocide and a forced removal,” said Betsy Theobald Richards, who works on changing cultural narratives for the Opportunity Agenda, a social justice organization.

Ms. Richards, a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, said most people have been taught only the “dominant narrative” of history in the United States, which she said has long devalued the experiences and voices of Native American people.

“People don’t really realize these are real people who live among you,” she said. “These are their ancestors that are survivors, or carry on the memory of the people who were massacred or removed.”

For those who need a refresher, here is a brief history of the Trail of Tears:

What is the Trail of Tears?
In the 1830s, federal and state officials forced thousands of Native Americans from their land in the southeastern United States, including Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. The forced relocation affected thousands of Cherokees, as well as the Creek, Chickasaw, Choctaw and Seminole tribes, among others.

The Native people were forced out of their homes and put in internment camps before they were pushed westward to designated Indian Territory, in present-day Oklahoma, according to the Trail of Tears Association, a nonprofit that works to preserve the historic trail and promote awareness.

Some 15,000 Native people died during the journey from exposure, malnutrition, exhaustion and disease, including about 4,000 Cherokees.

“It’s a terribly tragic event in Cherokee history and looms large,” said Jace Weaver, the director of the Institute of Native American Studies at the University of Georgia, who has studied the Cherokee removal.

What led to the forced relocation?
In the early 1800s, the federal government made an agreement with Georgia to remove all Native Americans from the state. But little was done to enforce it immediately, according to Dr. Weaver.

Then, in 1829, gold was discovered on Cherokee land in northern Georgia, which ramped up efforts to dislodge the Cherokees, according to the Trail of Tears Association. Around the same time, Andrew Jackson became president and began to “aggressively” pursue a policy of relocating Native populations, the association said.

Jackson signed into law the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which authorized the government to relocate Indian tribes in exchange for unsettled territory in the west.

Most Native Americans opposed the policy, and the Cherokee Nation brought a lawsuit in the United States Supreme Court. In one ruling, in 1832, the court sided with the Cherokees, Dr. Weaver said.

“They have this victory, but President Jackson refuses to enforce it,” he said. So, he said, “a group of Cherokees come to the view that removal is inevitable and they need to negotiate the best deal they can.”

In 1835, a faction of Cherokees signed a treaty with the federal government agreeing to move west to Indian Territory. The agreement, the Treaty of New Echota, “was illegal under the laws of the Cherokee Nation,” Dr. Weaver said, but it went into effect anyway.

“The Senate ratified the treaty despite knowledge that only a minority of Cherokees had accepted it,” the Trail of Tears Association said on its website.

On the journey west, the association said, a harsh winter and illnesses made death “a daily occurrence.”

What is the legacy of the Trail of Tears?
In 1987, Congress designated the Trail of Tears a national historic trail. It covers nine states and thousands of miles.

Because of what is taught in school, many people have limited knowledge of events like the Trail of Tears and Wounded Knee, Ms. Richards said. “They’ve heard these terms, but they really don’t understand,” she said.

But citizens of tribal nations, Ms. Richards said, know the history intimately: “These are genocides that we remember, that are part of our family memories, that are part of our blood memory.”

She advocated more Native American voices in Hollywood, the news media and the education system.

“It’s time for the United States to step up and integrate Native history and Native culture into curriculums,” she said. “Ignorance is no longer acceptable.”
