Trump says US military to reduce military exercises with South Korea, cites North Korea relations
"These exercises are not only costly… but send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile," he wrote in a Truth Social post.
US President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he has directed the Pentagon to significantly reduce joint military exercises with South Korea. Trump stated on Truth Social that he was "not happy" with the US participation in these drills, citing their cost and the "inappropriate and hostile" signal they send to North Korea, with whom he claims a "very good relationship." He also mentioned South Korea's refusal to join US efforts in the "Denuclearization of the Islamic Republic of Iran," quoting their response as, "No thanks!" The annual Ulchi Freedom Shield drills are scheduled for August 17-27.
