The North Korean government threatened the U.S. with a "merciless strike" when they took notice to the annual Ulchi Freedom Guardian military exercises. These exercises consist of ten days of joint drills that the U.S. military combine with the South Korean military to complete together every year. Although these exercises are nothing more than defensive drills, Pyongyang stated that they have the capability of driving the situation into an uncontrollable nuclear war. President Trump is said to be keeping military options readily available incase of any sign of North Korea's nuclear ambitions.
