Claim 1: “Trump orders Pentagon to cut back military drills with Seoul hours before start”
CORROBORATED
Multiple independent web search results confirm that President Trump ordered the Pentagon to 'substantially reduce' or 'curtail' military exercises with South Korea shortly before they began on a Monday. The sources specifically mention the 'Ulchi Freedom Shield' exercise and Trump's reasoning that the drills were costly and sent an 'inappropriate and hostile' signal to North Korea.
