US Orders Substantial Reduction in Joint Military Drills with South Korea

President Trump has ordered a significant reduction in joint military exercises with South Korea, citing Seoul's decision to remain neutral during the 2026 Iran war. The move signals a shift in the U.S. security posture on the Korean Peninsula and follows the signing of the Islamabad Memorandum between the U.S. and Iran. The reduction in drills is viewed as a response to the lack of coalition support from a key Pacific ally.
