“President Trump confirmed he plans to meet with Kim “many times” in the future and held a press conference to close out the summit. He also said the U.S. will stop military exercises with South Korea and said eventually the U.S. could pull troops out of the region completely."

I trust this is just throw away language or China will be partying while Taiwan, Japan and the rest of the SE Asian countries will be ramping up their militaries.

That part is concerning to me. He referred to them, not at "military exercises" but as "war games". That's the North Korean and the Chinese term for them. Why the change? He said one reason for stopping them was that they were "provocative"; again the North Korean and Chinese description. And if we're going to stop the military exercises with South Korea because they are "provocative" then will we stop the practice of sending ships through the South China Sea for the same reason?

I wouldn’t say that’s necessarily a bad thing. Eventually you have to take off the training wheels.
