SEOUL (Reuters) - U.S. troops will remain on the Korean peninsula even if the North and South reach a peace deal to replace the armistice that ended their 1950-1953 war, South Korea's foreign minister said on Friday. The leaders of the divided Koreas said at a historic summit earlier this month that their countries wanted to soon meet the United States and China -- signatories of the Korean War ceasefire -- for discussions on a peace treaty. http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSSEO17416020071026?sp=true
