Fox News
Amid growing tensions on the Korean Peninsula, President Biden is visiting South Korea from May 20 to May 22 to have a summit meeting with the new conservative South Korean President
Unlike his predecessor, Yoon has promised to take an aggressive defense posture against North Korea’s missile threats by strengthening the U.S.-South Korea military alliance. Possible tension points and challenges with the Biden administration and regional allies include South Korea’s growing interest in having its own nuclear deterrent as well as joining the Quad, a regional security group made up of the U.S, Japan, Australia, and India.
A White House spokesperson recently described the Biden visit as showing the administration’s "rock-solid commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific and to U.S. treaty alliances with the Republic of Korea and Japan." Biden will also visit Japan.
