US calls off joint marine exercises with South Korea
The US has scrapped a planned amphibious landing drill with South Korea that was set for next month, according to Seoul's Marine Corps, which attributed the decision to US military commitments related to the conflict with Iran. The Marine Corps noted, however, that both nations are currently in talks to bring the exercises back. This move comes after President Donald Trump directed a scale-back of a separate yearly US-South Korea military drill, pointing to Seoul's decision not to participate in the Iran conflict.
