Trump: North Korea shows respect
Donald Trump does not like the US to conduct a military exercise together with South Korea. Instead, he praises North Korea, which in his words is acting "non-threatening and with respect".
The US president does not believe that the country should participate in a joint military exercise with South Korea, this "based on my very good relationship with North Korea's Kim Jong-Un".
The exercise, which is to begin on Monday, has been planned for a long time, and as Trump writes on Truth Social "cannot be canceled".
The exercise is too expensive, he writes, but above all "sends signals that are completely inappropriate and hostile" towards North Korea - a country that according to Trump has only been respectful and not threatening "as long as Donald J Trump has been president".
He announced that he had therefore instructed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to significantly curtail the exercise.
As recently as Saturday, Trump posted a photograph on his platform in which he poses with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un.
In the post, he also suggests that South Korea is not a good ally since the country's President Lee Jae-Myung "said no thanks" to participating in the Iran war, or what he calls "the denuclearization of Iran."
