Biden-Yoon summit

The powerful sister of the North Korean leader released a statement denouncing the Washington Declaration and the new Nuclear Consultative Group.

In Yoon’s visit to Washington this week, South Korea and the United States reaffirmed their joint efforts to respond to North Korean nuclear threats.

The planned dock visits are a key element of the “Washington Declaration” issued during President Yoon’s U.S. visit in a bid to deter a North Korean attack.

When President Yoon visits this week, President Biden will announce specific new nuclear deterrence efforts as well as a new cybersecurity initiative.

For decades, the alliance primarily centered on security, political, and people-to-people ties. Then KORUS changed the game.

Leaked documents suggesting the U.S. spied on South Korea’s internal discussions on Ukraine could sour President Yoon’s upcoming trip to Washington.

The latest missile launch comes as South Korea and the U.S. prepare for large-scale military exercises, and President Yoon plans trips to both Tokyo and Washington next week.

After a series of gaffes on its last round of international trips, the Yoon administration seems to have hit its diplomatic stride at the ASEAN and G-20 summits.

In the trilateral summit on Sunday, Seoul, Washington, and Tokyo reaffirmed their joint commitment in the face of Pyongyang’s missile threats, but no new measure to renew the stalled dialogue were announced. 

Days after using “freedom” 21 times in his debut at the U.N. General Assembly, Yoon is now harming the freedom of press in his country. 

While Yoon failed to hold a formal summit with U.S. President Joe Biden, he succeeded in having an “informal meeting” with Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio.
