The United States and South Korea have announced they will scrap huge annual military drills that North Korea has long viewed as invasion rehearsals.The cancellation of the drills is also being seen as an olive branch to North KoreaThe move is aimed at reducing tensions on the Korean peninsula and, according to the Pentagon and South Korea's defence ministry.

Acting US Secretary of Defence Patrick Shanahan and South Korean Defence Minister Jeong Kyeong-doo made the decision to end the Key Resolve and Foal Eagle war games to"support our diplomatic efforts to achieve complete denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula", the Pentagon's statement said. The move is an olive branch to North Korea, but some experts say it will likely weaken the allies' military readiness amid worries that tensions erupt again in the wake of the failed nuclear summit in Vietnam.

The left wing lynch mob can’t help themselves. No matter what realDonaldTrump does they’ll puke their biased bile all over it.

Trump's negotiations with KJU more likely reflect the 'Peace in our time' Chamberlain diplomacy and assurances circa 1939. And that all worked out? Although in Trump's defense, when dealing with a despotic fanatic it does really help if you are one as well.

Apparently there *was* a deal out of Hanoi, we just didn't get anything out of it. Outside of sanctions, this was Kim Jong Un's biggest demand and among our biggest leverage...we just gave it away. (Keep an eye on Trump's musings re: pulling out of Germany, Putin's fondest wish.)

'We condemn this outrageous outbreak of peace in Korea. Trump must be impeached for this' - Democrats

That's about it in a nutshell 👇 I think your assessment is incorrect of realDonaldTrump There’s no deal, so what’s he going to say. 45 is clearly not prepared to do a deal that doesn’t suit US interests... so that’s fair enough. Trump had to say something to the press. Kim won’t be getting his way. All the conservatives & RWNJ's defending this man, should be utterly ashamed of themselves. None of you have a shred of moral or ethical integrity about you. You've let trump shit all over the institutions & pillars of democracy, all for political expediency & party loyalty

North Korea rejects US claims about lifting sanctionsNorth Korea disputes claims by United States President Donald Trump that it demanded all sanctions be lifted in exchange for decommissioning its nuclear research centre. 'High-stakes meetings meant to disarm a global threat.' you say? I didn't realize that this was about the USA disarming, I thought it was about NK. Unsurprising that we get two conflicting stories though, Trump is a serial liar and so is NK. Please help me the maphia is killing people in my apt when I am put in patent by the corrupt police who are involved. I live at 70 n Whitney st Amherst ma apt C . I am being locked up again today! Help please. At least someone is having a go at solving the Korean problem. The simple fact that these two leaders are willing to sit down and talk shows a lot more conciliatory progress than say Obama ever did.
