National security advisors from the United States, Japan, and South Korea met in Seoul on Dec. 9 as a follow-up to the historical Camp David Summit in August to further cooperation in response to the growing risks of North Korea’s nuclear threats and China’s economic coercion in East Asia.
The three countries reaffirmed their commitment, as agreed at the Camp David Summit, to coordinate efforts on a supply chain warning system to protect critical minerals and rechargeable batteries from disruptions due to economic coercion.
