TOUS 4645 Trump veut reduire les exercices militaires avec la Coree du Sud

Donald Trump has ordered the Pentagon to "significantly" reduce joint military exercises with South Korea. The US president cites their cost and his desire to maintain a positive relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.This decision comes as the Ulchi Freedom Shield maneuvers, scheduled for August 17-27, are expected to involve approximately 18,000 South Korean troops. Washington appears to want to prevent these exercises, regularly denounced by Pyongyang, from jeopardizing a potential resumption of dialogue with North Korea.
