Pentagon provided options to reduce troops in Korea
The Pentagon has offered the White House options to reduce American troop levels in Korea, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
Citing unnamed U.S. officials, the paper said the options were presented in March following a broader review of options for withdrawing troops from around the world, including in the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Asia.
The White House requested the review last fall, and by December, the Pentagon had come up with broad ideas, it said.
No decision has yet been made to reduce the number of U.S. forces stationed in Korea from the current 28,500, according to the WSJ.
