#WION LIVE: US Defence Secretary Hegseth Visits DMZ, 28,500 US Troops To Be Redeployed in South Korea?

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) on Monday during his South Korea trip, meeting Defence Minister Ahn Gyu-back. The visit highlights the strength of the Seoul-Washington alliance ahead of annual talks on the role of 28,500 U.S. troops in the region. Washington is considering a more flexible deployment of forces to respond to threats from North Korea, China, and Taiwan. South Korea plans a significant defence budget increase in 2026 amid U.S. cost-sharing demands. Both nations pledged stronger military cooperation and deterrence against North Korea’s advancing missile program. Officials called the regional security situation “complex and unstable,” emphasizing tighter Indo-Pacific coordination.
