In 2053
The United Korea can become one of the most powerful countries in Asia, and then the U.S. troops will simply not be needed there. This directly affects the U.S. position in Asia. The U.S. will never agree to this, unless the U.S. maintains or, better, increases its troop contingent in an already unified Korea. A troop buildup might be needed for a war with China.
