Democratic Leaders Blast Trump for Halting Korea War Games
----------------------------------------------------------

Trump's comments came as leading Democrats blasted the president's
decision to suspend U.S. war games in the Korean Peninsula while the
North takes steps toward denuclearization. This is Senate Minority
Leader Chuck Schumer speaking from the Senate floor Wednesday.

Sen. Chuck Schumer: "President Trump agreed to freeze joint military
exercises with South Korea. And he called them 'provocations'-right out
of the North Korean propaganda playbook-without the knowledge of South
Korea or our own military. I guarantee you, our military men and women
were squirming when President Trump called our joint military exercises
'provocations.'"
