Trump said that he didn't discuss halting U.S.-South Korean joint-military drills with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, again saying that he believed the costs of the drill are too high
President Donald Trump said Monday that he did not discuss with North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un, a halt to U.S.-South Korean joint-military drills, again saying that he believed the costs of the drill are too high.
“The military drills, or war games as I call them, were never even discussed in my mtg w/ Kim Jong Un of NK — FAKE NEWS!” the president tweeted about last week’s summit between the leaders in Hanoi, Vietnam. “I made that decision long ago because it costs the U.S.
The move was announced several days after talks between Trump and Kim over denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula fell apart. South Korea’s national defense minister, Jeong Kyeong Doo, and the acting U.S. secretary of defense, Patrick Shanahan, said in a statement that they adapted the training program to reflect their “desire to reduce tension and support our diplomatic efforts to achieve complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula in a final, fully verified manner.”
The military drills, known as Foal Eagle and Key Resolve, will be replaced with a new training called “Dong Maeng” — or “alliance.” The exercises began Monday and will last until March 12.“The reason I do not want military drills with South Korea is to save hundreds of millions of dollars for the U.S. for which we are not reimbursed,” Trump tweeted. “That was my position long before I became President.
