Washington, Jun 17 (DIN NEWS)<\/b> US President Donald Trump today defended his decision to stop military exercises with South Korea, saying such “war games” were “provocative and expensive” but threatened to re-start them if talks with North Korea break down.<\/p>\n
Trump in a series of tweets claimed that it was his idea to stop the “war games” during the summit with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un.<\/p>\n
“Holding back the war games during the negotiations was my request because they are VERY EXPENSIVE and set a bad light during a good faith negotiation. Also, quite provocative, he said.<\/p>\n
“Can start up immediately if talks break down, which I hope will not happen!” Trump tweeted.<\/p>\n
In a series of tweets, Trump slammed the “Fake News” for claiming he gave so much to North Korea just by meeting with the country’s leader last week in Singapore.<\/p>\n
Funny how the Fake News, in a coordinated effort with each other, likes to say I gave sooo much to North Korea because I met. That’s because that’s all they have to disparage! he tweeted.<\/p>\n
Trump claimed that the meeting brought in peace to the world.<\/p>\n
We got so much for peace in the world, & more is being added in finals. Even got our hostages\/remains!” he said.<\/p>\n
“The denuclearisation deal with North Korea is being praised and celebrated all over Asia, said the US president.<\/p>\n
“They are so happy! Over here, in our country, some people would rather see this historic deal fail than give Trump a win, even if it does save potentially millions & millions of lives! Trump tweeted.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
