washington - South Korea and the United States have decided to suspend joint military exercises that would be held in August. US government officials confirm the decision and the South Korean Defense Ministry also reports that the exercises are postponed.

US President Donald Trump announced after the summit with the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Singapore that the 'provocative' and 'expensive' exercises are being suspended for the time being. For the South Korean government, it was not yet clear what Trump meant exactly.

The Americans and their South Korean allies hold joint military exercises on a regular basis. North Korea sees these exercises as preparations for an invasion.
