🇺🇸🇰🇷 Trump cuts military exercises with South Korea
Donald Trump ordered a major reduction in joint military drills with Seoul, saying they are too costly and needlessly provocative toward Pyongyang. He also highlighted his “very good relationship” with Kim Jong Un.
The decision comes as the Ulchi Freedom Shield exercise was meant to mobilize more than 18,000 South Korean troops alongside U.S. forces, particularly in response to threats tied to drones and cyberattacks.
A major shift that could redraw the security landscape in Northeast Asia. 🌏
