US-South Korea military drills expected to be halved as Trump pushes for Kim Jong Un meeting
South Korean media reported US President Donald Trump's orders to "substantially reduce" US participation in the exercises and his mention of his "very good relationship" with North Korea's leader.
Joint military drills between the US and South Korea are anticipated to be reduced by approximately half, according to South Korean media reports on Tuesday and Wednesday. This follows US President Donald Trump's Sunday directive to the Pentagon to "substantially reduce" US involvement in the annual exercise, citing his "very good relationship" with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Additionally, Trump is reportedly urging aides to arrange a meeting with Kim as early as this fall, potentially during Trump's upcoming trip to Asia in November for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation in Shenzhen, China.
