US change military drill plan HOURS after North Korea threaten summit withdrawal

A US B-52 strategic bomber may not take part in ongoing South Korean-US military air drills according to a source, after North Korea cancelled bi-lateral talks with South Korea and threatened to cancel its upcoming summit with Donald Trump in June.

The Thunder military exercise began on Friday and is scheduled to continue for two weeks.

It will include around 100 aircraft, including F-15Ks, F-16s, and F-22 radar-evading fighter jets.

The military drill is being carried out by the US 7th Air Force and South Korea’s Air Force Operations Command.

A source said: "In the training, the U.S. F-22 stealth fighters have already participated, while the B-52 has yet to join.

“It appears that the B-52 may not attend the exercise, which runs through May 25."
