Trump Orders Cut to Korea Drills | Denver News

Trump orders major cuts to U.S.-South Korea military drills, calling them costly and provocative toward North Korea — which he claims has been “respectful” — while hinting at a rift over South Korea’s refusal to join the Iran denuclearization push. Though the current drills can’t be canceled, Trump wants them drastically scaled back. Seoul is watching closely, hoping for dialogue, as Pyongyang continues to warn that such exercises are war rehearsals and destabilizing. The U.S. insists these joint maneuvers remain vital to regional security and its commitment to defend both allies — even as this marks another twist in Trump’s long-standing criticism of the drills.
