"Biden Strengthens South Korean and Japanese Alliance at Camp David"

President Biden will host a stand-alone summit with the leaders of Japan and South Korea at Camp David, marking the first time the three nations' leaders will hold a meeting to discuss trilateral issues. The summit aims to strengthen the security partnership between the United States and its Asian allies in the face of rising threats from China and North Korea. While not resulting in a collective defense pact, the meeting sends a powerful political message to Beijing and Pyongyang. The leaders are expected to affirm the link between their nations' security and commit to consulting each other in the event of a regional security crisis. The summit also marks a significant milestone in convening two major U.S. treaty allies whose historical frictions have complicated efforts to forge a trilateral partnership.
