The move
follows a statement by US President Donald Trump, who had said in a
press conference after the summit with North Korean leader Kim
Jong-un on June 12 that it was inappropriate to hold "war games"
in the region in order to negotiate a deal.
Earlier
in the day, South Korean President Moon Jae-in stated, that a change
in military pressure on North Korea would be possible only if
Pyongyang was to "carry out denuclearization steps sincerely."
On June
12 Trump and Kim met on the Singaporean island of Sentosa. Following
a one-on-one meeting and subsequent negotiations in an expanded
format, the leaders signed a document showing their commitment to
establish new bilateral relations and build a lasting peace on the
Korean Peninsula.
After
the summit the US President stated, that military exercises in the
region were "provocative" and might be suspended.
