Trump directs Hegseth to scale back joint military exercises with South Korea
President Donald Trump directed the Pentagon on Sunday to substantially scale back planned joint military exercises with South Korea, saying that South Korea declined to help with denuclearizing Iran.
"These exercises are not only costly, with much of these costs paid for by the United States of America (as usual!), but send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile," Trump wrote on Truth Social, while emphasizing his "very good relationship" with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
