Trump ordered limits on US–South Korea military exercises: justified by “friendly relations” with Kim
US President Donald Trump instructed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to significantly reduce the scale of joint US–South Korea military exercises. He explained the decision by citing his “very good relationship” with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
The American president wrote about this on 17 August on his social network Truth Social. Trump said he was displeased with US participation in joint maneuvers with South Korea because, in his view, they are expensive and send the DPRK an “absolutely inappropriate and hostile signal.”
