US, South Korea to end key joint military exercises following Trump-Kim talks
The US and South Korea said they will end their annual large-scale joint military exercises as Washington pursues efforts to improve ties with North Korea.

"North Korea has an incredible, brilliant economic future if they make a deal, but they don't have any economic future if they have nuclear weapons," Trump said at a Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday.He added that the relationship with North Korea seemed to be"very, very strong".
