President Joe Biden shook off concerns that a reelection loss would roll back the progress he, Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio, and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol made at Friday's Camp David trilateral summit.
The three leaders held a press conference following their trilateral meetings, but Biden brushed off a question from the Associated Press about Asian countries' confidence in"a robust American commitment to a nuclear umbrella" when former President Donald Trump actively sought to reduce the American troop footprint on the Korean Peninsula."First of all, look. There's not much, if anything, I agree on with my predecessor on foreign policy," Biden responded.
"This is just about one summit. What makes today different is actually launching a series of initiatives that are actually institutional changes and how we deal with one another," the president continued."And security cooperation, economic cooperation, technology cooperation, development cooperation, consultation exercises — all of this will create some momentum, I believe, year by year, month by month to make the relationship stronger, and more certain to remain, to be in place.
"Once we got these results, I think you're going to keep it going, and I think you're going to benefit all our countries," Biden concluded.You can watch Biden's press conference in full below.
