So what? S. Korea doesn't have to join the US is some missile defense system. The US can establish a missile defense system on the shores of the US to protect from their land. The US needs to lose the world police brand...offering to help stabilize the world is wonderful, but they shouldn't expect every other Nation to want the help.

Actually, the South Koreans must hand over a $100 billion bill to Trump, for the additional expenses caused as a result of the recent provocations along the North Korean border. And perhaps they should seriously consider expelling the American soldiers from South Korea.

South Korea Rejects Trump’s $1B THAAD Demand.
The South Korean government has quickly refuted U.S. President Donald Trump’s call for Seoul to pay $1 billion for the THAAD missile defense system.
The Defense Ministry put out a statement Friday saying, “There is no change in South Korea and the United States’ position that our government provides the land and supporting facilities and the U.S. bears the cost of THAAD system’s deployment, operation and maintenance.”
The deployment of the U.S. Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile battery was agreed to last year by the administrations of then U.S. President Barack Obama and then South Korean President Park Geun-hye. Park was able to evade demands that she seek National Assembly approval for the deal by claiming no additional funding would be required for the THAAD deployment.
