Biden to Meet With South Korean President Moon Next Month

 It has been set that President Joe Biden will be meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in sometime next month. Despite the fact that no date has been formally set by the world leaders, this still is a very big moment for Biden's stake in foreign policy because this meeting will be following shortly after his first in-person meeting with another world leader, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga since he was inaugurated as president of the United States in January. This meeting also introduces the chance for discussion about the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, climate change efforts, and the Global shortage of COVID-19 vaccines. This will also allow Biden to get a foot in the door regarding the establishment of allies within Asia which will give the United States leverage when dealing with not only North Korea but also China. Speaking of North Korea, it has been known that they have been frequently testing short-range ballistic missiles and many of us remain concerned as to what their uses are. Most likely, a lot of these things will be discussed in conversation with President Moon Jae-in next month when he reports to Washington.
