\sqrt{}Hi folks,
So I was reading an article from economist:
South Korea said that American troops would remain in the country even if 'IT' does reach a deal with North Korea.
Isn't the antecedent of the pronoun 'IT' unclear? Without knowing context about the Korean war, wouldn't it be unclear as to what the pronoun is referring to - south Korea or the American troops?
Many thanks.

Hi bharu130, it cannot refer to American troops, because it can only have singular antecedents, whereas American troops is plural.
