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.'

Eh? The South Koreans seemed happy about it... as someone with families living around the SE Asian region, lots of folks seem happy about a positive shift compared to the long stalemate. Many are hopeful.
You seem to be making a lot of assumptions about a lot of people from an armchair half way across the world..

Mostly because Trump's actions didn't undo what the South Korean leaders have been trying to do recently, namely negotiate a permanent peace. They're rather keen on doing that so that (a) their citizens can reunite with family members on the other side of the DMZ, and (b) it's less likely they'll all die in a nuclear fireball.
