united states getting out of this. the main point coming out of that was that the president said he agreed with kim jong-un to stop those joint military exercises conducted by the united states and the south korean military, something that greatly annoys the north koreans and kim jong-un. the president saying he's agreed to stop those because he believes they are very expensive and very provocative. >> we will be stopping the war games, which will save us a tremendous amount of money, unless and until we see the future negotiation is not going along like it should. we'll be saving a tremendous amount of money, plus i think it's very provocative. >> reporter: so there is a reason those are provocative because of the north korea's nuclear arsenal they've been building. that is what president trump was here to discuss with kim jong-un. so a stunning statement there. the president seeming to give up a very major concession with agreeing to stop those exercises to kim jong-un. he was asked about that, giving up something like that. the president maintained he gave up nothing during that meeting. he and kim jong-un met for over an hour priv
