The United States and the Republic of Korea will not conduct joint naval exercises during the Olympics in Pkhenchkhane.

American President Donald Trump and South Korean counterpart Moon Jae Ying agreed on this during a telephone conversation.



Washington and Seoul canceled military exercises at the time of the Olympics


As previously reported by the Financial Times newspaper, South Korea offered the United States to postpone the annual Foal Eagle exercise and the Key Resolve held from February to April. Seoul called for the exercise to be postponed until the end of the March 18 Paralympic Games.

The 2018 Winter Olympics will be held in the South Korean city from 9 to 25 February. Pyeongchang is located in 80 kilometers from the DPRK border. Sports officials in several countries spoke of concerns about the safety of athletes over the rising tensions on the Korean Peninsula due to the development of the DPRK nuclear missile program.

The Russian Foreign Ministry called on the United States and its allies not to conduct military exercises during the Games.

      Absolutely do not care about this Olympics, there is no Russian team, there is no Olympics, it’s uninteresting to look at the neutrals team, and there’s absolutely no damn about the USA and South Caucasus. Yes

            During OLI in the Russian Federation, the light did not pull the branch, although I suspect that you were joking;)

            Let's hope that the DPRK just doesn’t sit and look at someone else’s OLI near the borders and will undertake at least nuclear tests, and even better, fire at this OLI!

      This proposal was from South Korea and the hegemon didn’t say the last word. I won’t be surprised (if by chance) the team from Korea will get into an accident, there are plenty of options for provocation. Americans don’t have to start anything. ) under the guise of a robbery, in fact it does not matter how they die.

    Well, there will be no official exercises. Until our Western and Middle Eastern partners arrange another bloody provocation, writing off thousands of victims to the DPRK. Then they will arrange the official, with the involvement of "peacekeepers" UN, the destruction of the DPRK (as it was once before)
