Sharing a post on Truth Social, Trump captioned, “Despite the unfriendly look on this particular picture, there are many where we’re smiling, Kim Jong Un and I get along GREAT! President DONALD J. TRUMP.” Trump’s remarks came at a time when North Korea condemned the imminent US-South Korea military exercises, claiming they would escalate tensions in the Korean Peninsula, Al Jazeera reported.
The joint military exercises known as “Ulchi Freedom Shield” are set to take place from August 17 to August 27. These activities will encompass responses to drones, jamming of GPS and cyber-attacks, as the United States and its allies try to keep pace with North Korea’s military capabilities.
North Korea has routinely criticised US-South Korea military exercises, describing them as provocations. Spokesperson for North Korea’s Foreign Ministry on Friday said US-Japan-South Korea military cooperation was developing into a “nuclear alliance”, Al Jazeera reported, citing Pyongyang’s Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). “The US-Japan-South Korea military cooperation is turning into a nuclear alliance, and North Korea will respond to a new level of threat with a new level of deterrent,” the spokesperson said.

US President Donald Trump on Friday (local time) said he plans to declare the Strait of Hormuz “a territory of the United States” after the war with Iran, The New York Post reported.Addressing a Republican rally in Long Island, Trump said, “After we finish defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated — pretty soon I’ll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States.”
