The Pentagon said in an unclassified national defense strategy document titled “Restoring peace through strength for a new golden age of America” on Friday, that it plans to shift more of the responsibility of deterring North Korea<\/a> to South Korea.<\/p>\n

The U.S. would take a “more limited” role in keeping North Korea in line, the Pentagon said in the document obtained by Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“With its powerful military, supported by high defense spending, a robust defense industry, and mandatory conscription, South Korea is capable of taking primary responsibility for deterring North Korea with critical but more limited U.S. support,” the document said.<\/p>\n

It added, “South Korea also has the will to do so, given that it faces a direct and clear threat from North Korea. This shift in the balance of responsibility is consistent with America\u2019s interest in updating U.S. force posture on the Korean Peninsula. In this way, we can ensure a stronger and more mutually beneficial alliance relationship that is better aligned with America\u2019s defense priorities, thereby setting conditions for lasting peace.”<\/p>\n

The new policy plan<\/a> on North Korea followed similar strategies for other parts of the world, with the wide-ranging document adding that the department will “no longer be distracted by interventionism, endless wars, regime change, and nation building. Instead, we will put our people\u2019s practical concrete interests first.”<\/p>\n

The document clarified the policy doesn\u2019t mean “isolationism,” but rather a “strategic\u00a0approach to the threats our nation faces.”<\/p>\n

Further down it added, “We will insist our allies and partners do their part and lend them a helping hand when they step up.”<\/p>\n

The document said under a section titled “Increase Burden-Sharing with U.S. Allies and Partners” that it plans to deter China<\/a> “through strength, not confrontation,” and as the “Department rightly prioritizes Homeland defense and deterring China, other threats will persist, and our allies will be essential to dealing with all of them. Our allies will do so not as a favor to us, but out of their own interests.”<\/p>\n

On Russia, it said the country “will remain a persistent but manageable threat to NATO\u2019s eastern members for the foreseeable future,” and on Iran, it stated that President Donald Trump<\/a> has made it clear that Iran won\u2019t be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n

This year, South Korea raised its military budget<\/a> by 7.5% while around 28,500 U.S. troops are stationed there in defense of North Korea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
