When will the South Koreans be free from American occupation and control?

A peace treaty between North and South Korea means the war officially ends, right? What then is the purpose of stationing USA troops in South Korea? A peace deal will mean North Korea is no more going to attack the South and USA troops are no longer needed for protection.

South Korea does not regard China as a threat like the North and relations are stable and not that bad, although anti-China bots are trying to stir shit by fabricating the mantra that South Korea is China's biggest unknown threat more than Japan, because of China's involvement in the Korean War. Moreover, I believe the South Koreans have slowly woken up and knows what is more important to them. The persistent issue with North Korea is not good for them and Lee probably realized that North Korea is no pushover today. It is a nuclear state, already capable of helping Russia in Ukraine and has been firing missiles into the sea as a warning against any provocative moves.

Trump is obviously taking issue with South Korea for not being involved in the war against Iran and is cutting back on the military exercise with South Korea. South Korea has much to lose if it enters the war against Iran, although logistically it is involved.

I do not think President Lee's idea will be music to the ears of the USA. He will slowly be removed or even assassinated. Assassination of South Korean Presidents have precedents and cannot be ignored. Maybe they will not do it directly but create a false flag and accuse North Korea of doing it. How much does it cost to get a North Korean to do it is relatively easy. Money talks and bullshit walks.
