1:27Now PlayingDeclaring the U.S.-South Korean alliance "iron-clad," President Joe #Biden welcomed South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol to the #WhiteHouse for an official state visit. #USA #SouthKorea #politics
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol stressed trust ahead of his high-stakes talks with President Joe Biden, whose administration is looking to align more with the long-time US ally on China and Russia.
Yoon will be looking to protect the biggest players in his country’s export-driven economy from moves by the White House to subsidize US-made electric vehicles and curb the sale of advanced chip equipment to China, part of a wider strategy to deprive the world’s second-biggest economy of cutting-edge technologies that could threaten America’s status as a preeminent power.
That dynamic sets the stage for a transactional meeting between leaders of two nations that forged an alliance seven decades ago during the Korean War. Now they are facing new challenges beyond efforts to deter Kim Jong Un’s regime as it improves capabilities to deliver nuclear warheads to South Korea and the US mainland.
“At one point the relationship was primarily about the security on the peninsula,” Edgard Kagan, National Security Council senior director, said at a forum held last week in Washington. “Increasingly, it has become global.”
