Donald Trump has claimed that South Korea would be paying $10 billion a year for US forces stationed on the Korean Peninsula if he was still president.

South Korea is currently paying around $1.02 billion per year for 28,500 US personnel stationed on its territory.

Seoul is worried that its payments to Washington will take priority in his foreign policy objectives.

Analyst: Excessive demands from the US could weaken alliance and foster " anti-American sentiment".
