Summary
Trump said Sunday that he had instructed the Pentagon to reduce the exercises, calling them costly and saying they send a “totally inappropriate and hostile” signal to North Korea. “Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with South Korea,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. Combined exercises are central to assessing whether conditions for the OPCON transition have been met, including South Korea’s ability to lead the allies’ combined defense and respond to North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats. The White House has repeatedly said Trump remains open to dialogue with North Korea without preconditions.
