US, South Korea, and Japan hold joint drills outside the region
South Korea, the United States, and Japan are conducting a joint military exercise called "Freedom Edge" from September 9 to 11 in international waters south and east of Jeju Island, aimed at testing their readiness to face North Korea's missile and nuclear threats. These drills come amid a decline in bilateral US-South Korea exercises, following President Trump's reduction of training scale, as part of diplomatic efforts to hold a new summit with Kim Jong Un and to expand economic influence along the North Sea route between Asia and Europe.
