President Biden and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol celebrated their “ironclad alliance” Wednesday amid fife and drums on the White House lawn ahead of high-level meetings and a state dinner.
Mr. Biden and first lady Jill Biden greeted Mr. Yoon and his wife, Kim Keon Hee, one day after the president announced his formal bid for reelection.
“Today, our economies are on the vanguard of technology development, our nations are powerhouses of innovations and our people, united still by our demographic values, are taking on the challenges of the world, and we’re taking them on together,” Mr. Biden said. The U.S. president highlighted American and South Korean troops who fought in the Korean War and set the two nations on course for a 70-year alliance. Thousands of U.S. troops are still stationed on bases in South Korea.
