U.S. cancels Ssangyong amphibious drill with South Korea over Iran war strain
The United States has canceled its participation in the Ssangyong amphibious landing exercise with South Korea, scheduled for next month. The decision, announced by the South Korean military, cites resource constraints driven by the ongoing war in Iran. This marks the second major joint drill to be scaled back or canceled during President Trump's second term, raising concerns about U.S. commitment to deterrence in Asia.
