I want to know the answer to the following question:
Who declined the ROK's request for tanks?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The ROK Army had 98,000 soldiers (65,000 combat, 33,000 support), no tanks (they had been requested from the U.S. military, but requests were denied), and a 22-piece air force comprising 12 liaison-type and 10 AT6 advanced-trainer airplanes.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
