President Donald Trump said on Tuesday after meeting with Kim Jong Un that the US and South Korea would stop military drills — but it appears China knew about it before the Pentagon did.
US military forces in Korea have not received any direction to cease joint military drills, a spokesman said on Tuesday, Reuters notes.
The South Korean military issued a statement to NBC News saying: "Regarding President Trump's comment regarding ending of the combined military drills..We need to find out the exact meaning or intention behind his comments at this point."
Meanwhile, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said "Our suspension for suspension process is right and has been realised," a BBC correspondent in China reported.
