U.S. President Donald Trump scoffed at the expenses of the South Korea-U.S. joint military exercises in a tweet, saying "There is no reason at this time to be spending large amounts of money on joint South Korea-U.S. war games.” He also added that he could instantly start the joint exercises again with South Korea and Japan if he so chooses. If he does, he purports they will be far bigger than ever before. The president's comments created confusion since it came after an announcement that the military drills will continue.
