WASHINGTON — Democratic lawmakers stepped up their offensive against U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday, after he ordered the scaling back of military exercises with South Korea while pushing for renewed summitry with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un this year. In an X post on Friday, Senate Democrats criticized Trump's decision on the allied military drills, voicing concerns over its impact on the Seoul-Washington alliance. "Trump canceled military exercises, undermined alliance with South Korea," the Democrats said in the post. "Kim Jong-un gave up NOTHING. Then kept sending weapons to Russia to use against Ukraine." In his social media post, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said that "not even Donald Trump's self-proclaimed close friend Kim Jong-un respects him anymore," as he cited a New York Times report that Kim Yo-jong, the powerful sister of the North Korean leader, has dismissed Trump's decision to scale back major allied exercises, saying the attempted overture "holds no interest for us."
