Seoul says there's no chance of an imminent increase.
For decades, South Korea has paid the U.S. to share the cost for troops stationed here.
And on Sunday, after months of tense negotiations, Seoul agreed to pay 890 millions dollars for one year.
But Trump told his Cabinet the total would double from 500 million dollars.
Trump also said Seoul would continue to pay more each year.
Trump has previously called allies receiving U.S. military support freeloaders.
