Trump scales back South Korea military exercises following Iran refusal
US President Donald Trump has directed the Pentagon to significantly cut down on joint military exercises with South Korea after the nation declined to assist in the denuclearisation of Iran. Trump described the request as unrelated, noting that when he asked the South Korean President for help, the answer was a firm "No thanks." The President added that these drills project an "inappropriate and hostile" message to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, with whom he maintains a positive rapport.
