Didn't Trump stop North Korea from doing this?

Obama would have kept the military exercises suspended. And thrown in some money as a bonus.

Pure conjecture on your part. And, fwiw, Obama never cancelled exercises with S. Korea.

The conjecture is rooted in the empirical.

No it is not. Because what you say didn't happen.

Gonna be REALLY interesting to see what happens with North Korea now. Why? Because Trump just seized a cargo ship that was carrying things in violation of the sanctions currently imposed on them. And, Un has fired more missiles today as well.

North Korean ship used to illicitly transport coal is seized over sanctions violation, US announces

A North Korean cargo vessel used to transport coal was seized in violation of international sanctions against the rogue regime, the U.S. Justice Department announced Thursday, just hours after the hermit kingdom fired two suspected short-range missiles.

The 17,061-ton vessel, called the Wise Honest, is one of North Korea’s largest bulk carriers used to illicitly ship coal from North Korea and deliver heavy machinery to the Hermit Kingdom, officials said. U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman said this is the first time a North Korean cargo ship was seized for violating international sanctions.

“This sanctions-busting ship is now out of service,” Assistant Attorney General Demers said in a news release. “North Korea, and the companies that help it evade U.S. and U.N. sanctions, should know that we will use all tools at our disposal — including a civil forfeiture action such as this one or criminal charges — to enforce the sanctions enacted by the U.S. and the global community.

The empirical is Obama’s removal of troops from Iraq, his failure to enforce a Syrian red line and his giving money to Iran. Based on that record, my previous postulation stands.
