SEOUL, Feb. 23 (Yonhap) -- South Korea has effectively turned down the United States' proposal to stage a trilateral aerial exercise with Japan this month as the proposed date was right before Tokyo's annual celebration for its territorial claim to South Korea's easternmost islets of Dokdo, sources said Monday.
