US President Donald Trump, who is attending the French G7 summit, reiterated his negative stance on the ROK-US Combined Forces Training, citing a North Korean secretary-general's letter on Tuesday.

Trump asked the media's question whether he was concerned about North Korea's missile tests before the summit with Abe during the G7 summit in Biarritz, France. "I received a very good letter from Kim."

"He was angry that Korea was doing a war game," Trump said. "If you want to know the truth, I also don't think they need it."

President Trump said at the White House that he had received a letter from Kim on September 9, but he did not explain whether it was a new letter since that time.

"And I told people," You may or may not have them. I would recommend against them, but I will do what you want to do. "

"I don't want to interfere if you want to do them, if you think you need them, because you think you can, but I think it's a complete waste of money."

Trump added that "they had a revised version." This seems to refer to adjustments in size and manner of practice, such as the change in the name of the combined training and the practice of command posts.

President Trump asked John Bolton's White House national security adviser and confirmed it again, saying, "I am a modified version," but "I honestly think I didn't have to."

Earlier, Trump met with the media at the White House on Tuesday and said he received a three-page letter from Kim the previous day, saying, "It was a very beautiful letter."

At the time, Trump said, "He doesn't like war games."

In addition, President Trump introduced his letter on Twitter on Twitter on October 10, saying that he expressed his intention that he would like to end the missile launch and negotiate after the ROK-US training.

President Trump's reference to his letter and drills is interpreted as a message urging North Korea to move forward quickly, refusing to respond to North Korea's successive missile launches.

President Trump has been critical of the costs of US-ROK training.

He called the ROK-US training as a "war game" after the North American summit in Singapore last June and said, "I hated it since the day I came into the White House."

In addition, the recent discussion of the US-ROK training along with the cost suggests that there is a side that stresses the necessity of raising the contribution amount before the negotiation of defense cost contribution with Korea.
