Trump Korea drills cut

Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon to scale back joint US-South Korea military exercises, calling them "inappropriate and hostile" and citing his "very good relationship" with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. The decision came hours before drills were due to begin on Monday. Trump also linked the move to South Korea not helping with Iran's "denuclearization," while some US and South Korean officials warned the cuts could boost Kim Jong-un's capabilities.
