Tensions are rising between Washington and Seoul as President Donald Trump announces plans to reduce U.S. military exercises with South Korea, citing his relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the high cost of the drills, and South Korea’s refusal to join U.S. action against Iran. The announcement comes as the annual Ulchi Freedom Shield exercises begin as scheduled, putting the future of one of America’s most important military partnerships in Asia under renewed scrutiny. Could Trump’s move be a negotiating tactic aimed at keeping Kim Jong Un engaged—or a sign that Washington is preparing to scale back its long-standing military commitment to South Korea?
