ASPEN, Colorado: A top South Korean official on Saturday said a US-South Korean military exercise would go ahead as planned next month, denying Pyongyang's charges that holding it would breach an agreement made between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
The spokesman for North Korea's Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that Trump had reaffirmed in a meeting with Kim last month that joint exercises would be halted adding that the US decision to proceed with them was"clearly a breach" of the leaders' agreements made at a summit in Singapore last year. "As far as I know, President Trump did not promise the cancellation of this upcoming military exercise," said Choi."If he had done that ... we would have been consulted and organised it and used it very strategically."
