News South Korea, U.S. to start annual joint military drills on April 1Foal Eagle and Key Resolve previously postponed due to PyeongChang Olympics
South Korea and the U.S. will kick off previously postponed annual joint military drills on April 1, Seoul’s Ministry of National Defense (MND) announced on Tuesday. The exercises will, however, not feature any U.S. strategic assets and will take place within a shorter time frame than in previous years, the South Korean military told NK News. “The South Korean and the U.S. defense ministers have agreed on the resumption of the annual joint military drills, including Key Resolve of 2018, whose schedule was adjusted,” Choi Hyun-soo, spokesperson for the defense ministry, told assembled media at a regular news briefing.
