Seoul. South Korea and Japan will be allowed to increase their purchases of U.S. military equipment, President Donald Trump announced via Twitter on Tuesday morning, days after North Korea claimed it tested a hydrogen bomb. “I am allowing Japan & South Korea to buy a substantially increased amount of highly sophisticated military equipment from the United States,” Trump wrote. A White House readout of Trump’s Monday call with South Korean President Moon Jae-in had hinted at the president’s announcement, sharing that the U.S. president had provided his conceptual approval for the purchase of many billions of dollars’ worth of military weapons and equipment from the United States by South Korea. And South Korea scrambles to upgrade its arsenal after North Korea’s recent ballistic missile and nuclear tests, the Associated Press reports.
