President Trump surprised leaders across Asia during his high-stakes meeting with Kim Jong Un this week, announcing the United States will halt future war games with the South Korean military as part of the upcoming denuclearization deal.
The Commander-in-Chief was speaking with reporters following his summit with the communist leader; confirming the US military will cease large-scale military drills in the region; maneuvers that have inflamed US-North Korean relations in the past.
“We will be stopping the war games, which will save us a tremendous amount of money unless and until we see the future negotiation is not going along like it should,” Trump said after his meeting with Kim. “But we’ll be saving a tremendous amount of money. Plus, I think it’s very provocative.”
The President’s comments come as Kim Jong Un promised to make “big changes” in his country’s relations with the west, pledging to begin a process that would remove all nuclear weapons from the Korean peninsula.

HISTORIC HUDDLE: US and North Korean Officials Hold EXPANDED Meetings in Singapore
President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un have entered the second-phase of their negotiations Tuesday morning in Singapore, holding expanded meetings with top officials from both governments; including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
Trump and Kim sat with senior aides and translators in a Singapore resort Tuesday following the two leaders’ one-on-one meeting that lasted approximately 45 minutes; setting the stage for a possible normalization of relations between the United States and North Korea.
The high-level negotiations come just hours before both leaders are set to depart from Singapore, but insiders describe Trump and Kim’s travel plans as “fluid,” meaning both teams could opt to stay longer should positive developments occur.
After a brief photo op for the international press, each team will pursue its agenda during the high-stakes meeting, with the American delegation pushing for a complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and the communist regime seeking security guarantees and large-scale US investment in the region.
