Koreas holding military talks to reduce tensions on border

The rival Koreas were holding rare high-level military talks today to discuss reducing tensions across their heavily fortified border.

It's possible North Korean officials during the talks at the border village of Panmunjom will seek a firm commitment from the South on stopping its military drills with the United States.

US President Donald Trump said after his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Tuesday that the allies should stop the war games during nuclear negotiations in "good faith."
A second summit between Kim and Moon, in late May, put the senior-level talks between the Koreas back on track. Still, North Korea's state media continued its criticism of allied military exercises, demanding Washington days later "stop the acts of threatening its dialogue partner by force."
