South Korea stresses US alliance after Trump cuts drills

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung said Tuesday that a solid alliance with the United States underpins national security, after President Donald Trump ordered a 'substantial reduction' in joint military exercises. Trump cited South Korea's refusal to join his war against Iran and his good relationship with North Korea's Kim Jong Un. The move, made without consultations, has baffled many in South Korea and raised concerns about the reliability of the alliance.
