Trump scales back military drills with South Korea
Donald Trump has ordered the Pentagon to substantially reduce planned military exercises with South Korea, calling them too expensive and sending an inappropriate signal to North Korea. The decision comes days after North Korea fired ballistic missiles into waters near Japan and tested two ballistic missiles within a week. Trump insists he maintains a good relationship with Kim Jong-un, despite escalating tensions in the region where South Korea recently fired warning shots after North Korean soldiers crossed the military demarcation line.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
