President Donald Trump has ordered the Pentagon and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to substantially reduce joint military exercises with South Korea. Trump stated these costly drills send an inappropriate and hostile signal to North Korea, which he described as unthreatening and respectful. The decision follows South Korea's reported refusal to assist in denuclearizing Iran.
