一名美国高级外交官表示，美国正专注于确保尽快满足将战时作战指挥权移交给韩国的必要条件。
美国负责东亚和太平洋事务的助理国务卿迈克尔·德桑布雷（Michael DeSombre）于6月25日在华盛顿国会山举行的众议院外交委员会东亚和太平洋事务小组委员会听证会上发表了上述言论。
德桑布雷表示：“我们理解韩国政府希望尽快完成移交的愿望，我们正专注于确保尽快满足必要的条件。”
首尔和华盛顿正在一项基于条件的协议下推进战时作战指挥权（OPCON）的移交。韩国总统李在明领导的政府旨在其2030年任期结束前实现这一移交。这些条件包括首尔领导联合部队的能力、其打击与防空能力，以及有利于移交的地区环境。
首尔官员寻求迅速满足这些条件，外界猜测移交最早可能在明年进行。驻韩美军司令泽维尔·布伦森（Xavier Brunson）将军曾表示，盟国旨在最迟于2029年第一季度满足这些条件。

U.S. Forces Korea Commander Gen. Xavier Brunson said Wednesday that a roadmap has been delivered to the Pentagon to meet wartime operational control (OPCON) transfer conditions no later than the second quarter of fiscal year 2029. This targets January to March 2029 as the allies pursue a conditions-based transition. Brunson stressed the need to satisfy all conditions.
South Korea believes the final verification stage for regaining wartime operational control from the United States can be completed in about one year, potentially allowing the transfer as early as next year, according to a source.
