South Korean President Lee Jae-myung said on the 19th that South Korea must take back command of wartime operations from the US as soon as possible, and is fully capable of doing so. Negotiations between South Korea and the US are also basically moving in the direction of taking back command; however, this process will not be that easy. According to information from South Korea's presidential office Cheongwadae, Lee Jae-myung said at a press conference on the same day that South Korea is an autonomous and independent country, and it is reasonable and fully capable of independently assuming responsibility for national defense. From a global perspective, if you don't count verification strength, and only look at conventional military strength, South Korea ranks fifth in military strength in the world. Although defense spending also involves negotiations between South Korea and the US, South Korea is drastically increasing defense investment.
