The U.S. has no intention of withdrawing any forces from South Korea, the U.S. national security adviser said on Tuesday, as allies monitor the U.S. pullout from and subsequent collapse of Afghanistan.

Jake Sullivan delivered the reassurance at a press briefing in response to a question about whether U.S. troops would leave the Korean Peninsula. He stressed that Afghanistan is a “fundamentally different” situation from other countries.

“[President Joe Biden], as he has said repeatedly, has no intention of drawing down our forces from South Korea or from Europe, where we have sustained troop presences for a very long time
