미국 정부, 8월 한미 을지훈련 연습 중단 방침 이르면 14일 발표
In Washington,... the Trump administration is reportedly canceling the next joint military exercise with South Korea, scheduled for August.
This follows a pledge made by President Trump in Singapore earlier this week that he would stop U.S. war games in the region.
Citing officials from the administration,... multiple U.S. media reports say that the Pentagon will formally announce the cancellation in a press release on Thursday local time.
South Korea's defense ministry says the two sides are in close coordination on the issue.
The drill in question is the annual Ulchi Freedom Guardian exercise,... a largely computer-simulated drill that last year involved over 17-thousand U.S. troops alongside South Korean forces.
