After President Donald Trump ordered the scaling back of U.S.-Korean military exercises and once again praised North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, South Korea's President Lee Jae Myung called for military control independent from the United States.
Trump has expressed displeasure with many of the United States' longtime allies for not supporting the U.S. war on Iran. The U.S. military relationship with South Korea dates back to the end of World War II. Following the Allied defeat of the Japanese empire, colonial Korea was partitioned into two military occupation zones, with the USSR in the north and the U.S. in the south.
