South Korea’s president vowed Wednesday to sharply increase defense spending to introduce a variety of high-tech weapons as part of efforts to build a more self-reliant military.
According to Associated Press It comes as U.S. President Donald Trump’s America-first agenda raises questions about the U.S. security commitment to its Asian ally.
A tariff war instigated by Trump’s administration and his transactional approach to security threatens to erode many South Koreans’ trust in the U.S..
The moves have stoked concerns that he may demand much higher South Korean payments for the U.S. military presence on its territory or could possibly downsize America’s military footprint to focus more on China.
In an Armed Forces Day ceremony Wednesday, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung described the South Korea-U.S. military alliance as “solid” and didn’t mention any concerns about Trump’s policies.
But he repeatedly stressed to build a more independent military that can defend the country from external threats on its own.
“We should move toward a strong, self-reliant defense, based on our pride and confidence in our military power,” Lee said. “To ensure peace and prosperity for the Republic of Korea, we must not depend on anyone else but strengthen our own power.”
To boost a self-reliant defense posture, Lee said his government would increase next year’s defense spending by 8.2% to introduce advanced weapons systems like AI combat robots, autonomous drones, and precision attack and defense missile systems.
He said the government will also actively foster defense industry and improve soldiers’ welfare by upgrading their service conditions and compensation systems.
Bolstering South Korea’s military readiness would be clearly aimed at more effectively deterring potential aggressions from North Korea, which has nuclear weapons.
The North has recently repeatedly rejected Lee’s overtures though it signaled interests in restoring diplomacy with Trump.
