1983, Geraldo Rivera for Eyewitness News gives us an update on North Korea, while America protects the South Korean front line with 40,000 troops stationed there. This clip is 10 days prior to Ronald Reagan’s visit to Korea. We see some history of the conflict, learn about the ongoing negotiations and speak to American personnel in the region. If the communist North Korean really wants peaceful re-unification, why not let their people participate in the upcoming televised family reunions?

As of 2024, the United States maintains approximately 28,000 U.S. troops in South Korea. Tensions between North & South remain high, and re-unification today a distant or abandoned concept.

 

Here for more historic moments.
