South Korea said joint military war games with the United States ended early after a request from Washington. A South Korean minister stated that Donald Trump appears to be pressuring Seoul over investment and Iran. The South Korean foreign minister said curbing the military drills was meant to pressure Seoul regarding Iran. Although cutting the joint drills gives the South Korean president what he wants, Seoul stays unsettled.
Talks keep going regarding placing Seoul at the table for tactical nuclear weapons talks. Meanwhile, South Korea is looking into paths for a new financial hub outside overcrowded Seoul.
