BEIJING, May 3 (Xinhua) -- U.S. bombers conducted drills with South Korean fighters amid tensions on the Korean Peninsula though President Donald Trump expressed willingness to meet the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) leader Kim Jong Un.
The DPRK on Tuesday called the drill an "extremely reckless move for nuclear war" on the peninsula, and China urged related parties to take their responsibilities and find a breakthrough to resume peace talks at an early date.
