South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has renewed his push to regain wartime operational control of South Korean forces from the United States, as President Donald Trump orders a major reduction in joint U.S.-South Korea military exercises. Lee has urged the government to proceed with the planned OPCON transfer during his term and called for faster progress on South Korea’s nuclear-powered submarine programme. Trump has defended scaling back the annual drills by citing their cost and his relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, while the move has raised fresh questions about the future of the U.S.-South Korea security alliance. What does Seoul’s push for greater military independence mean for North Korea, Kim Jong Un and the balance of power on the Korean Peninsula
