Any discussion about the number of U.S. troops in S. Korea is "separate and distinct from the negotiations that are going on with DPRK. That issue will not come up in the discussions with DPRK."
Mattis in Singapore on U.S. troops in S. Korea:
“If the diplomats can do their work, if we can reduce that threat, if we can restore confidence-building measures with something verifiable, of course these issues can come up subsequently between two sovereign democracies.”
Amen!!
Go, Maddog, go!
Love this man’s straight talk.
