From $1B to $5B. I would like to know what the true cost is for our troops in Korea and assume its much greater than $1B ... not against SK paying more but yeah, how we are "negotiating" leaves a lot to be desired.

The value of global and regional influence, coupled with the strategic value over decades transcends the pittance of cash that we're talking about in comparison. If the administration is willing to throw that away because of some kind of concept of fair payment for US protection then he and the administration are even dumber and more short sighted than they've been given credit for.
