At least 19 South Korean university students were arrested Friday after climbing the walls of the official residential compound of the U.S. ambassador to Korea, Harry Harris. Students were reportedly protesting the presence — and cost — of American military forces in the country. Students shouted, “Stop interfering with our domestic affairs!” and chanted “Get out!” and “We don’t need U.S. troops!” before being removed by police, Reuters reported.

Students can be seen on video using extension ladders to scale the walls of the secure embassy and consulate facility while others unfurl banners with messages that included “Leave this land, Harris.” A State Department spokesperson, speaking on the condition of anonymity, confirmed the breach. Seoul Metropolitan Police entered the U.S. government facility at the embassy’s request and arrested the students.

The United States and South Korea have a burden-sharing agreement stemming from a 1953 mutual defense treaty after the halt of the Korean War. As part of the agreement, roughly 28,500 U.S. troops are stationed in South Korea. In August, Trump called for South Korea to pay more for military protection by U.S. forces.

周五，至少有19名韩国大学生攀爬美国驻韩国大使哈里·哈里斯官邸的围墙后被逮捕。据报道，学生们抗议驻韩美军和(高昂的)保护费。路透社报道，在被警方带走之前，学生们大喊：“停止干预我们的内政!”，反复高喊“滚出去!”和“我们不需要美国军队!”的口号。

视频中可以看到，学生们使用伸缩梯爬过严密保护的使馆和领事馆设施的墙壁，而其他人则展开横幅，标语写着“离开这片土地，哈里斯。”国务院一位匿名的发言人证实了这一点。首尔都市警察应大使馆的要求进入美国政府机构并逮捕了这些学生。

美国和韩国在1953年朝鲜战争结束后签署了一项共同防御条约，根据该条约，两国达成了一项分担负担的协议。作为协议的一部分，大约有28500名美军驻扎在韩国。今年8月，特朗普要求韩国为美国军队的军事保护支付更多费用。
