Trump Says US Will Scale Back Military Drills with South Korea The announcement by Donald Trump that the US will "substantially reduce" joint military exercises with South Korea has set off alarm bells among observers of international relations and defense strategists.

Trump's statement on Truth Social cited his friendly relationship with Kim Jong Un as justification for scaling back the drills.
