President Joe Biden will host the second state visit of his administration, for South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, the White House announced on Tuesday.
U.S. President Joe Biden will crank up the pomp and pageantry for South Korea's president.
The U.S. has been working to deepen its relationships across Asia as a counterbalance to China's rising influence. Biden visited South Korea and Japan last year, and has prodded the pair of critical U.S. allies in a region that includes North Korea to mend relations with each other. Biden and his wife, Jill, next month will welcome Yoon and his wife to a pomp-filled arrival ceremony on the South Lawn featuring patriotic music and goodwill speeches. Biden and Yoon will then meet in the Oval Office before the leaders and their top aides sit down for broader talks on a range of global and regional issues.
One takeaway from Yoon's visit is that South Korea is now "all in" and willing to work with the U.S., Japan, Australia, the European Union and others to counter challenges to the world order by Russia, China and North Korea, Cha said in an email.
