On Sept. 14, South Korea, the United States, and Canada held a joint military exercise to commemorate the 73rd anniversary of the Incheon Landing in the Korean War. South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was the first sitting president to host the event.

“The Incheon Landing Operation is part of the proud history of liberal democracy repelling totalitarian communism and is a valuable asset that the free world should cherish,” Mr. Yoon said.
