Kim Jong Un Supervises Another N. Korean Military Drill
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un supervised a parachuting drill of military sharpshooters and vowed to build an "invincible army," displaying more defiance even as the United States and South Korea called off their own exercises to create space for nuclear diplomacy, ABC News reports.
The report Monday by the Korean Central News Agency came hours after President Donald Trump in a tweet urged Kim to "act quickly, get the deal done" while hinting at another summit, writing, "See you soon!"
At an Asian defense ministers’ conference in Bangkok on Sunday, U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper said the United States has indefinitely postponed a joint military exercise with South Korea in an "act of goodwill" toward North Korea. Diplomats have been pushing to resume stalled nuclear talks ahead of Kim’s end-of-year deadline for the Trump administration to salvage the diplomacy.
