Biden praises cooperation at meeting with South Korean, Japanese leaders amid North Korea worries

  • By AAMER MADHANI Associated Press

President Joe Biden praised the cooperation between South Korea, Japan and the U.S. at countering what he described as North Korea's "dangerous and destabilizing cooperation with Russia." Biden spoke ahead of a meeting Friday in Peru with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba. The talks come amid heightened concerns about North Korea's growing military partnership with Russia and Pyongyang's stepped-up cadence of ballistic missile tests. White House officials are concerned that Pyongyang could be dialed up for more provocative action ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration and the early days of his administration.
