During his sit-down with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Sunday, U.S. President Donald Trump revealed he received a new letter from North Korean leader Kim Jong-un,... adding Kim was "upset" that South Korea was engaging in what Kim called "war games".
Despite Trump acknowledging the recent joint-military exercises between Seoul and Washington were a "modified version" compared to previous large-scale drills,... the U.S. president still labeled them a "total waste of money".
Trump said he would recommend against holding the exercises,... but will allow the allies to continue if "necessary".
