WASHINGTON (Reuters) - North Korea said it was suspending high-level talks with South Korea scheduled for later in the day on Wednesday due to U.S.-South Korean military exercises that it said went against the trend of warming North-South ties.

North Koreas official Korean Central News Agency also cast doubt on whether next months summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and U.S. President Donald Trump could go ahead as planned, South Koreas Yonhap news agency reported.

This exercise, targeting us, which is being carried out across South Korea, is a flagrant challenge to the Panmunjom Declaration and an intentional military provocation running counter to the positive political development on the Korean Peninsula, Yonhap quoted KCNA as saying.

The United States will also have to undertake careful deliberations about the fate of the planned North Korea-U.S. summit in light of this provocative military ruckus jointly conducted with the South Korean authorities.

Wednesdays meeting was due to focus on plans to implement a declaration that emerged from an April 27 inter-Korea summit in the border village of Panmunjom, including promises to formally end the Korean War and pursue complete denuclearization, the Souths unification ministry, which handles ties with the North, said on Tuesday.

KCNA called the U.S.-South Korean Max Thunder air combat drills, which it said involved U.S. stealth fighters and B-52 bombers, a provocation and said Pyongyang had no choice but to suspend the talks.

Why are they still having these exercises given the circumstances?

These things get planning, time, money, personnel, and many other resources from both countries dumped into them months or even years in advanced.

Itd be seen as a waste to scrap it especially since all the peace talk started so recently.
Also nobody trusts NK

lol so much for that nobel prize
