- Trump said the United States would substantially reduce joint military exercises with South Korea, citing their cost, an inappropriate hostile signal and his good relationship with Kim Jong Un.
- He also said South Korea had declined his invitation to join US efforts to denuclearise Iran.
- The annual Ulchi Freedom Shield exercise was due to start on Monday, with plans announced the previous week calling for 11 days and about 18,000 South Korean troops.
- The decision followed ballistic-missile tests conducted by Pyongyang this month that are banned by the United Nations, while North Korea rejected the drills as an exercise of its right to self-defence.
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.— Donald Trump, in a Truth Social post on Sunday, criticizing joint military exercises with South Korea
