US President Donald Trump said on Monday that joint US-South Korean military exercises were not discussed in his meeting last week with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and denied his decision to cancel them were a gesture for North Korea.
“The military drills, or war games as I call them, were never even discussed in my mtg w/ Kim Jong Un of NK—FAKE NEWS! I made that decision long ago because it costs the U.S. far too much money to have those ‘games’, especially since we are not reimbursed for the tremendous cost!” he tweeted.
