Pyongyang's Pot Shots at Seoul Over US Drill Cuts The latest salvo in the exchange between North and South Korea over reduced US military drills highlights a deeper unease in the region.
The spat began when South Korean President Lee Jae Myung praised US President Donald Trump's decision to scale back joint exercises with Seoul, describing it as a "major decision made with careful consideration" aimed at creating peace on the peninsula.
North Korea was not impressed. Kim Yo Jong, the sister of leader Kim Jong Un, fired back at Lee's comments, calling them "double dealing remarks" that revealed unease and impatience in Seoul.
