A South Korean government official said, “With the presidential election coming up, it’s not clear for now whether the US will go ‘low key’ with the joint military exercises in August.”

“If strategic assets are brought in, the situation becomes more serious,” the official warned. Indeed, the recently strained relations between South and North are very likely to return to their 2017 state if the exercises are resumed. The South Korea and US defense ministers appear likely to hold a video teleconference this month to discuss the methods for joint exercises in the second half of the year.
