Trump anuncia que reducirá los ejercicios militares con Corea del Sur debido a sus “muy buenas relaciones” con Kim Jong-un

President Donald Trump has announced plans to significantly reduce joint US-South Korea military exercises, citing his "very good relationship" with North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un. This decision comes after Seoul's reluctance to cooperate more with Washington in the fight against Iran. Trump posted a photo on his social media platform Truth, seemingly looking down on Kim, and wrote, "Despite the unfriendly expression in this particular photo, there are many where we are smiling.

Kim Jong-un and I get along great!" Later, he announced via the same platform that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will reduce "substantially" the military exercises with South Korea. Trump justified the move by arguing that the exercises are costly and annoy a country that considers him loyal. He also mentioned that these exercises are expensive and send a completely inappropriate and hostile signal to a country that has been respectful and non-threatening throughout Trump's presidency.
