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.'

    America used to have the greatest military, we used to be so powerful militarily. We actually used to have a beautiful Naval Base in Kansas. Near Olathe, where there was that terrible shooting. But my predecessors, very foolishly, shut it down. Here we are, protecting Korea. Protecting Japan, Germany -- NATO -- so many places. And it's costing us tremendously. To where possibly they're costing us more as friends than they did as enemies. And we're not protecting the middle of our Country the way we used to. And the way we need to. Sad!!!
