SEOUL, June 14 (Xinhua) -- South Korean President Moon Jae-in has said Thursday that he will carefully review the U.S.-South Korea joint military exercises if talks between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the United States continue.
Moon made the remarks during a National Security Council (NSC) meeting of the presidential Blue House to assess the DPRK-U.S. summit and discuss response measures of the South Korean government.
The meeting was attended by major security and foreign affairs officials, including foreign and defense ministers, spy agency chief, and national security advisor.
After holding the historic summit with DPRK top leader Kim Jong Un, U.S. President Donald Trump said in Singapore Tuesday that he would halt the U.S.-South Korea war games as it is inappropriate to stage such "provocative" drills in the dialogue period.
