Trump Shifts Korea Drills Amid Nuclear Tensions | Australia News

Trump’s latest move to scale back U.S.-South Korea military drills frames it as a cost-cutting, less provocative step—claiming it aligns with his “good” relationship with Kim Jong Un and even mocking Seoul for not backing U.S. efforts against Iran.
