South Korea can’t afford to pay the $350 billion all at once, as President Donald Trump proposed, according to Seoul’s National Security Adviser (NSA) Wi Sung-lac, who spoke on Channel A News on Saturday.
“We are not able to pay $350 billion in cash,” Wi stated, according to Reuters. “The position we’re talking about is not a negotiating tactic, but rather, it is objectively and realistically not a level we are able to handle.”
