Mark Kelly: Trump decision to reduce joint military exercises with South Korea ‘shortsighted and a mistake’

President Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon to substantially reduce joint military exercises with South Korea, citing his positive relationship with Kim Jong Un. Trump described the drills as costly and sending a hostile signal to an unthreatening foe. While South Korean President Lee Jae Myung praised the rapport for potentially reviving diplomacy, critics like Senator Mark Kelly and retired Colonel Cedric Leighton called the decision a shortsighted mistake and an unforced error that could impact critical alliances.
