I heard others say that it was good practice for both sides to "suspend" war preparedness while negotiating a peace treaty. It would be disingenuous to deal for peace while planning for war.

Besides, wargames can always be restarted pretty quickly.

It's actually far simpler:

Trump agreed to halt additional sanctions and maintain current status until next steps. Another military exercise would be an additional form of sanction, therefore in violation of that promise.
