Trump administration to end major military exercises with South Korea: report
By: Joshua Axelrod  

The Trump administration is set to announce the end of large-scale drills the U.S. military conducts with South Korea every spring, according to a new report.

Two U.S. defense officials told NBC News Friday about the impending announcement. Their report indicated that the two drills in question — which are referred to as Key Resolve and Foal Eagle — will eventually be replaced with smaller-scale training exercises tailored to specific missions.

The Pentagon had announced in November that the U.S. was still scheduled to participate in Foal Eagle, though in a diminished capacity. This decision appears to have cancelled it altogether.
