Trump anunţă o "reducere semnificativă" a exerciţiilor militare cu Coreea de Sud / "Transmit un semnal total nepotrivit şi ostil Coreei de Nord”

President Trump announced a significant reduction in U.S. participation in joint military exercises with South Korea, citing a good relationship with Kim Jong Un. The annual drills, which began recently, are designed to enhance defense against North Korea, especially in light of its military cooperation with Russia. Trump criticized the exercises as costly and provocative, while South Korea's Defense Ministry confirmed they proceeded as planned. North Korea condemned the drills, viewing them as preparations for invasion, and has threatened increased deterrence measures. Experts warn that reducing military exercises may weaken deterrence in Asia.
