The Pentagon confirmed Monday that major U.S. military exercises this summer in South Korea would be suspended, following President Trump’s decision.
Dana White, the Pentagon’s chief spokeswoman, said in a late afternoon statement: “Consistent with President Trump’s commitment and in concert with our Republic of Korea ally, the United States military has suspended all planning for this August’s defensive ‘wargame’ (Freedom Guardian).”

The U.S. military moved on Friday to indefinitely suspend two upcoming operations with South Korean forces as part of the administration's efforts to reach the complete denuclearization of North Korea.
In a press statement, chief Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White said that the decision reached by Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and national security adviser John Bolton would be contingent on future "good faith" negotiations and developments with North Korea and Kim Jong Un's government.

"To support implementing the outcomes of the Singapore Summit, and in coordination with our Republic of Korea ally, Secretary Mattis has indefinitely suspended select exercises," the statement reads.

"In support of upcoming diplomatic negotiations led by Secretary Pompeo, additional decisions will depend upon the DPRK continuing to have productive negotiations in good faith," the Pentagon added.
Friday's announcement comes just days after the Pentagon announced it had officially suspended planning for its annual August “war game” with South Korea's military.
