Trump orders reductions in U.S.-South Korea drills to revive Kim talks
President Trump orders reductions to U.S.-South Korea military exercises, reviving a strategy from his first-term nuclear talks with Kim Jong Un amid North Korea’s expanded nuclear and missile capabilities.
TRUMP CUTS KOREA DRILLS TO REVIVE KIM TALKS President Trump ordered reductions to U.S.-South Korea military exercises, reviving a strategy used during his first-term nuclear talks with Kim Jong Un.
The move comes as North Korea has significantly expanded its nuclear arsenal, missile capabilities and military experience, aided by Russia and China.
Critics warn scaling back drills could weaken deterrence and raise concerns among U.S. allies.
Kim has so far rejected Trump's diplomatic outreach, demanding recognition of North Korea as a nuclear state.
