"US-Japan-South Korea Alliance Deepens at Camp David Summit, Addressing Beijing's Actions"

President Biden hosted a trilateral summit at Camp David with the leaders of Japan and South Korea, announcing a strengthened agreement to deepen security and economic commitments. The three nations committed to new coordination efforts, including a crisis hotline, information sharing about North Korean missile launches and cyber activities, and bolstered missile-defense cooperation. They also reaffirmed their commitment to peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits. On the economic front, they will work on early-warning system pilots to address possible supply-chain disruptions. The leaders will meet annually, and Cabinet-level officials will gather regularly. The summit aimed to mend relations between Japan and South Korea, as both countries are concerned about China's assertiveness and North Korea's nuclear threats.
