Moon will “consider” suspending joint ROK-U.S. military drills: Blue House

South Korean leader says end to exercises could contribute to "building mutual trust"

South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Thursday said he will “carefully consider” the suspension of regular ROK-U.S. joint military exercises if “sincere dialogue” between the two Koreas and the U.S. continues, the Blue House announced.

Moon convened an all-member meeting of his National Security Council (NSC) between 1600 and 1730 local time to “assess the results of the North-U.S. summit and discuss countermeasures from our government,” the Blue House said in a written statement.
