The US military plans to scrap large-scale joint exercises conducted with South Korea every spring, a report said Friday.

The annual exercises will be canceled as part Team Trump’s effort to make nice with North Korea — despite the collapse of this week’s highly anticipated second summit between President Trump and Kim Jong Un, NBC News reported, citing a pair of top Defense Department officials.

The exercises — known as Key Resolve and Foal Eagle — will be replaced with training for specific missions, the officials said.

Trump has repeatedly complained about the large-scale exercises with the US’ longtime ally, saying they cost too much.

The military has conducted the exercises as much for deterring Kim’s rogue regime as for ensuring troop readiness, the officials said.

Technological advances mean that some of the training can be done virtually and no longer requires thousands of troops, according to the defense officials.

“The US has identified ways to mitigate potential readiness concerns by looking at required mission tasks versus having to conduct large-scale exercises,” one told the network.

But some North Korea experts questioned whether the major exercises could be suspended without harming the troops’ ability to combat threats.

“That would run counter to what the military has been saying for decades,” said Bruce Klingner, a former CIA officer who tracked North Korea and is now a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation.

“Militaries need to train. If you continue curtailing your exercises, on what day has it reached catastrophic proportions?” Klingner added.

“It’s hard to measure. But you know, over time, there has to be a degradation.”
