Last update: 6 hours agoUS-ROK Drills Cut: President Trump ordered the Pentagon to “substantially reduce” the Ulchi Freedom Shield exercises with South Korea hours before they began, calling the drills costly and a “totally inappropriate and hostile” signal to North Korea while citing his “very good relationship” with Kim Jong Un and Seoul’s refusal to join US “denuclearization” efforts tied to Iran. Seoul Response: South Korea said it will keep “close coordination” with Washington and expects US-North Korea leader “friendship” to help restart peace talks, with Cheong Wa Dae pledging to act as a “pacemaker.” Regional Reaction: China’s foreign ministry said it wants peace and a political settlement on the peninsula, while US lawmakers and critics warned the move could weaken deterrence as Pyongyang’s missile and nuclear posture grows. Pyongyang-Russia Link: Background coverage continues to frame the drill shift amid deeper North Korea-Russia military cooperation, with analysts noting Kim’s forces are learning from Ukraine.
