00:00South Korea says it can still deter North Korea even if the U.S. redeploys some military assets from the
00:07peninsula to support operations in the Middle East.
00:10Although South Korea opposes the removal of U.S. air defense assets from the country, President Lee Jae-myung acknowledges
00:18that Seoul is not in a position to make demands.
00:24U.S. forces that are based in South Korea has already moved several weapon systems, including artillery batteries and air
00:32defense equipment, as part of the redeployment.
00:35About 28,500 American troops remain stationed in South Korea as part of the long-standing alliance that protects the
00:43country against nuclear-armed North Korea.
00:45Analysts say South Korea still has the capability to deter North Korea on its own, although the presence of U
00:52.S. weapons signals Washington's commitment to regional security.
00:56They also warn that Pyongyang could misread the redeployment and launch limited provocations to test the strength and coordination of
01:04the alliance.
