The U.S. president just pulled the plug on joint military drills with South Korea—right before they were set to begin—claiming his relationship with North Korea’s leader is strong and criticizing Seoul for not backing him on Iran. South Koreans are stunned, with trust in the U.S. alliance hitting a new low amid past tensions and now this move. President Lee Jae-myung is doubling down, insisting a robust U.S.-South Korea partnership remains vital—even as Seoul pushes for greater self-reliance. Meanwhile, North Korea’s silence continues, accusing Washington and Seoul of escalating tensions, while polls show more South Koreans now see the U.S. as untrustworthy than trustworthy. The region braces for what comes next.
