President Joe Biden will welcome South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol to the White House on Wednesday, where both leaders are expected to sign a declaration to counter the growing nuclear threat from North Korea.
This is “a hugely important visit” to commemorate the 70th anniversary of U.S.–South Korean diplomatic ties, a senior administration official briefed reporters on April 25, adding that Washington will be taking significant steps to strengthen the U.S. commitment to “extended deterrence” on the Korean Peninsula.
