Mondale to Withdraw U.S. Troops From Korea
Vice President Walter Mondale announced during talks with Japanese leaders that the United States will gradually withdraw ground troops from South Korea while maintaining an Asian Pacific presence. He emphasized continued alliance with Japan, keeping Air Force units in Korea, and cooperating with Seoul, Tokyo, and Washington on defense and regional economic issues.
