Seoul weighs U.S. proposal for exercises geared to
North Korean collapse
The U.S. military has proposed joint drills with South Korea to cope with a possible sudden collapse of North Korea, Seoul officials say. "High-ranking U.S. officials suggested, both officially and unofficially, a joint military exercise with South Korea to prepare for changes in North Korea," a Defense Ministry official said. "The Defense Ministry and the Joint Chiefs of Staff are prudently considering the proposal," he said, declining to further comment on the "very sensitive" issue.
