The view from South Korea on Trump scaling back joint military exercises

South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun stated that officials were not notified in advance regarding Donald Trump's decision to scale back joint military exercises. The announcement was made by the U.S. president on Truth Social, leaving both the South Korean government and U.S. officials unaware of the move before its public release. Experts from the Atlantic Council in Seoul are currently analyzing how this reduction in military training is being perceived by the key U.S. ally.
