The Pentagon confirmed Monday that major U.S. military exercises this summer in South Korea would be suspended, following President Trump's decision.

'We will be stopping the war games, which will save us a tremendous amount of money, unless and until we see the future negotiation is not going along like it should,' Trump told reporters after his meeting last Tuesday with Kim in Singapore. 'But we'll be saving a tremendous amount of money. Plus, I think it's very provocative.'

    China is only required by treaty to get involved if North Korea is attacked first. They don't have to help North Korea if North Korea does the attacking first.

    China is all for status quo. They don't want millions of refugees from North Korea. They've plenty of people of their own to worry about.
