Multiple rounds of talks have failed to reach a new cost-sharing agreement.

Seoul now pays about half the cost to keep U.S. troops here, roughly 830-million dollars.

The U.S. reportedly wants South Korea to pay more, which has forced negotiators into a deadlock.

According to Stars and Stripes, most of Seoul's contribution pays salaries for locals who help maintain the U.S. troop presence.

The daily also reports South Koreans working on U.S. bases will be furloughed if the two sides can't reach a deal.

Mays says European leaders share determination to clarify Irish backstop

British Prime Minister Theresa May says there is a shared determination among European leaders to find an acceptable compromise on the Irish border issue which is currently scuppering her proposed Brexit deal.

In a dash across Europe to see leaders from the Netherlands, Germany and EU officials, Mrs May said she was beginning a negotiating process to clarify the controversial position which could see Northern Ireland treated differently from the rest of the the UK to avoid a hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland. This would come into force if London and Brussels fail to negotiate a trade agreement in the time available.

It comes as Mrs May faces a fierce backlash for postponing a parliamentary vote on her Brexit deal with speculation opponents within her own Conservative party have the numbers to challenge her leadership.

However speaking in Brussels Theresa May said she was making progress on clarifying the backstop issue.
