WASHINGTON, April 26 (Reuters) - U.S. and South Korean officials outlined respective visions for a new agreement on sharing the cost of keeping American troops in South Korea in talks this week and will continue to consult as necessary, the chief U.S. negotiator said on Friday.

The allies named envoys last month to launch early talks for a new deal to take effect in 2026. South Korean media said the aim was for an agreement before any November election comeback by former President Donald Trump, who during his presidency accused Seoul of "free-riding" on U.S. military might.
盟國們上個月任命了特使以啟動於 2026 年生效的新協議的早期談判。南韓媒體表示,目標是在任何 11 月大選前的唐納德·特朗普復出之前達成協議,因為他在任期內曾指責首爾「倚靠美軍實力」。

In a brief statement on Friday, Specht said: "The United States and Republic of Korea outlined their respective visions for the 12th SMA ... We will continue to consult whenever necessary to further strengthen and sustain the Alliance under the 12th SMA."
根據週五發表的簡短聲明,Specht 表示:「美國和大韓民國概述了第 12 次 SMA 的各自願景......我們將在必要時繼續協商,以進一步鞏固和維繫第 12 次 SMA 下的聯盟。」
A senior Biden administration official told Reuters last month the talks were on track and ahead of schedule but the U.S. did not see November as a "hard deadline."
拜登政府高級官員上個月告訴路透社,這些談判正在軌道上,並提前於進度進行但美國並沒有把 11 月作為「硬性截止日期」。
More than 28,000 American troops are stationed in South Korea as part of efforts to deter nuclear-armed North Korea.
