In a post on social media, Trump said that he was "not happy" with the U.S. history of participating in joint military exercises with South Korea, which have been ongoing since the aftermath of the Korean war.
He cites the costs of the tradition, but also said it was "totally inappropriate and hostile to North Korea," which Trump says has been respectful to him. Rather than cancel the joint exercises, Trump said he's instructed his defense department to scale them down.
“Trump and his post was also critical of South Korea, a key U.S. ally, for not backing the”
U.S. and its war against Iran. Deepish Ivorom and PR News. Todd Blanche, President Trump's newly confirmed attorney general, and former personal attorney, is declining to pledge to act independently from the Federal Justice Department that he now leads.

of Ukraine more than four years ago. A church choir sang Ukrainian folk songs as hundreds of people gathered to help the group Wisconsin Ukrainians raise money. The non-profit helps pay for medical treatment in the U.S. for severely wounded Ukrainian soldiers.

“Italian police have recovered three paintings stolen several months ago from a museum near”
Parma, but a day later separate the install for Renaissance works from a museum far to the south in Sicily, the Lamarx reports. The Italian police branch known as the Caribbean Yery announced on Friday they'd recovered a Suzanne, a Renoir, and a Matisse stolen back in March from a museum outside Parma.
