South Korea and the United States are expected to formally announce the suspension of large-scale joint military exercises this week, in accordance with President Donald Trump announcing that he would cancel the “provocative war games” after his June 12 meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un in Singapore, according to South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency.
“The South Korean and U.S. military authorities have been having close consultations over the combined exercises that U.S. President Donald Trump has said he will stop,” Yonhap reported, quoting an unnamed source. “This week, the South Korean and U.S. defense ministries will jointly announce the results of their discussions.”
