Ulchi Freedom Guardian drills seen as obstacle to talks
Tens of thousands of U S and South Korean troops plus allies will hold drills over the coming weeks to prepare for possible war with North Korea.

China urged halting the drills in exchange for talks under its suspension for suspension plan, which Washington rejected.
