and it's outcome the united states dependent south korea collectively represented 40 percent of the global g, d, p. as midnight, as you mentioned, e, 5, russia, north korea and in china where the carter party is here in terms of the economic competition. i'm not sure if it's even a symmetrical or comparative here. so the, the power of the allies is all evidence in these statistics. now this 3 parties have started, i think the station security and economic next those uh, according to the spirit of come david. they prioritized a defense security followed closely by discussions of economic security. but a couple of things are actually not worth a. i thought did they have tone down the rhetoric so surrounding tie? once it started start the positions of the 3 countries towards type what have not changed and they support a peaceful resolution across the taiwan strait. and my last point is so at the meeting, although it did not, is so institutionalized the out the rise of the ation. they told however with the. busy our heads of state security, military meetings, and the annual military trail was

it's highlight st stepping off the comprehensive strategic alliance of the us, highlighted with south korea in the washington declaration earlier this year. and is also crucial the both away of the tele, china and north korea regional sweats, but also for the us to reassure its allies of south korea and japan. and i think this balance between the towns and reassurance is particularly important and has been particularly important for the by this ministration. nazi, i'm sure you want to jump in on that, but also ask you, you said that there is too much emphasis on security. but the point is that the summit would not have happened if it wasn't for extraordinary to be in security right around the world. 8 and invested primarily by russia's invasion of ukraine. all right, and that did change the paradigm for japan when that happened. but i looked at security in a broader context because the prime minister, because she has really emphasized growing ties with ozzy on with the greater ation nations. and many of them are really agnostic about the conflict, the ongoing conflict, competition, whatever

south korea as well as jaan me. south korea as well as japan have _ me. had an - me. south korea as well as i japan have had an acrimonious relationship for quite some time. it seems they have temporarily mended fences. what do they hope to get out of this meeting at camp david? i think this is a great opportunity for the three countries to foster a stronger, more stable partnership — which is good for deterrence and contingency planning at a time when china is acting assertively in the region, and north korea's continuing to improve its nuclear missile arsenals. i would be looking at whether these three countries can institutionalise some of the security cooperation measures that have been more ad hoc in the past, because that will send a political message, a strong political message to countries like china and north korea. , �* , , ., korea. president biden seems to be drawing _ korea. president biden seems to be drawing on — korea. president biden seems to be drawing on these _ korea. president biden seems to be drawing on these allies i korea. preside

so you can now see how hard it is here in south korea this year. in particular, what are the experts saying mean, do they chalk this up to climate change and how is the government planning to adapt to it? so what i can tell you is a south korea has never been um, prepared for this kind of sports or weather conditions. and uh, so the uh, the infrastructure here is nowhere adapt for a hot hot weather like this. the government time has yet announced that it will support in about a 4 point. $6000000.00 to cope with the heat related and disaster is at this time around both the specifics of which we do not know yet. i asked for the x for say, do blame a global warming and climate change in the common carbon emissions to this as that they say that there is no other way to explain this unusual phenomena. we've seen extreme weather events rising across the region is south korea, coordinating with its neighbors on response in adaptation. what i can tell you is the south korea, china and japan has had a consultative group on, on combat in climate change just

while the us, as close to both relations between japan and south korea, are tricky. it was a sign of bullying relations. the south korean president and the japanese prime minister, praying together in her russian uh at the monuments memorializing korean victims of the atomic bomb. in 1945, tens of thousands of korean laborers were in no rush in the following decades of brutal japanese colonial rule of the korea. the red rep, prussia mall was spelled on by the war and ukraine, a reminder of tension in their own region. president joe biden seize the moment, hoping to persuade his to allies to co operate close the militarily with the us, as well as each of the spots in south korea menu and not ready to forgive japan for it's historical atrocities. and some say or military partnership will increase tensions with north korea. last month, north korea's leader came and don't own invited russian and chinese leaders to a military parade. showcasing his latest long range missiles. the 3 nuclear powers showed a united front. and when the us, japan and south korea recently health

officials, and that is a growing commitment, organization between japan and south korea that they facel security threats. in particular you see an increased tempo of ballistic missile tests by north korea with no sign it is going to give up its nuclear weapons program. you are seeing an increase in military exercises by china in the taiwan strait. there is a concern about the security situation in the region , and japan and south korea are feeling that they have mutual interest here that they need to work together on, together with the united states. of course you have had the united states pushing for this relentlessly. you heard the president talked about how many times they've been on the sides of other summits rather than this one. so you've got that as well. i would say secondly quite clearly that there has been a rapprochement between japan and south korea in the last few months, led by the new leader of the south korea, who really made an effort to try to overcome some of those historic tensions, and the japanese leader reciprocated. as mr. biden was saying, this is something th

so whether you're sitting in south korea, looking to the north or you're sitting in japan looking to a broader sweep on the russians to the north, to north korea, to the west, china, across the east, trying to see the japanese military looks to their, to, to perform whatever task they need to defend japan, but beyond that, their broader conversations about maritime security. we've just witnessing the reach and of course, chinese tensions with the philippines in the south china sea. there are questions about whether or not the behavior of the chinese military across the region, again, particularly in the maritime domain, is safe and end peaceful. so you have, i think not an integration of the military's to, to stand up to 40 article 5 type cooperation. but you do have a, an assertion here by the leaders as they have a state, they have shared state and they will be coordinating and acting in concert should the region be under threats. and that's the historical significance of japan and south korea. we typically really put this historical friction completely behind and then the question

and obviously south korea is bordering north korea. and it's, it's, it's still in the, technically, in the state of war. it is only an armistice, not a peace deal between the 2 korea's so i think these factors have, have brought them together and allowed them to see beyond their differences. we hear the us president there are stressing that china was definitely not the target here, but undoubtedly, and increasingly bellicose. beijing must have been looming over the entire talks. you lived in work in china for many years. do you believe that the show of unity wilted turbo zhang or for their hard and changing things? military muscle? i think, i think definitely the chinese are very annoyed about this because i'm keeping japan an unsolved. korea separate is, is in china's interest in terms of building up its middle tree. if you look at the spending on the, in the chinese military budget, a lot of it has been on building up its blue water at navy, which is, you know, for in the region. and a lot of its focus is areas in the south china sea

it's close to both nations relations between japan and south korea. i've traditionally been strained that we expect it to cyber security packed in response to grabbing things no threats except to include a duty to consults during times of crisis. i'm a establishment of an emergency hotline. this correspondence, james chase a in taipei engine now doing a lot in washington a following the story. janelle started off by explaining this judy to consult well, the duty to consult is basically a formalized recognition of the fact that the west, japan and south korea share an interconnected security environment. so basically, that means that a threat to any one of them say from north korea or china could be construed as a threat to all of them. now this does not mean that this is a mutual defense agreement. this is not nato's article 5 stipulating about an attack on one member country is an attack on all of them and that could trigger mutual defense action. know what this is, is a promise to talk and a promise to coordinate policy auction. you already mentione

with south korea, the launch comes just as just a day rod the before the us and south korea wrap up the annual military exercises in the region. young young routinely criticizes stage these drills as preparation for an invasion from the cell. all right, let's get to so south korea now and your list gen moon. welcome to your gen, state media in north korea. call that a simulated quote. scorched this nuclear strike on south korea. how is this version of the news and that price bang receive the as well, um, tell me, i guess previously tested if you agree people, missiles and describe how we would use the potential wars with south korea in the us. but this time around the shows and experts here in the south are watching closely the facts and not only didn't need their scorched earth nuclear stress on south korea potentially. but the fact that it's disclose the detailed work plan and how it reaffirms the aggressive nuclear doctrine to intimidate its opponents as it escalates and protests against this uh, the ongoing soft curry us military exercises. it's when you talk about the dates, our re

say our nation's or answering that call a call that is the diplomatic deadlock between japan and south korea relations between the 2 neighbors have been fraught for decades regard by japan's military occupation before and during world war 2. the growing threats from regional rivals, china and north korea have pushed the to, to open a new chapter. biden praised his counter parts for their political courage, while stating that vision was not the focus of the summit to both them are china obviously came up not just say we don't share concerns about the economic origin or height intentions caused by china. but this summit was really about our relationship with each other and deepening cooperation across on the tire range of issues and when well beyond just the media issues we read, it was about more peaceful and prosperous in the pacific. during the historic meeting, china responded with a call for peace in the region and denounce geopolitical competition. typically, people will go don't talk to you, attempt to piece together various exclusive, small groups to bring confrontation in military gro

china sea, which have implication, which is for japan and south korea particularly. and i think this is one of the, one of the more meaningful meetings and assigned at the us is, is really trying to establish itself, again as, as a power in the region. and, and implications that you mentioned the both dependents, south korea, which make this all very interesting because, i mean, those 2 countries would never come together reading this a sort of framework just just a few years ago. that's right. i mean, they've had lots of issues at dividing them. i mean, this would be my marks to $78.00 anniversary 78 years as a year since that japan's colonial influence in, in, in south korea was ended. and historically, they've always been at odds. and now we're seeing that they have a common cause, which is countering chinese influence in the region. so for them to put aside these differences and to be quite aggressively promoting their similarities is to start with then to exit polls 6. and if again, this is very happy to do this for the just sort of use of the infl

forces from south korea. his what you might call it transactional approach to our allies did not go down well. so, sure, there's hedging and that's one of the reasons they don't want to necessarily alienate china anymore than they have to because in 18 months the willingness or ability of the united states to have their back may be much diminished if it's donald trump rather than joe biden sitting in the oval office. >> we did hear in arlette's report that sensitive history between japan and south korea that injects another element into the historic nature of today's agreement. how does the u.s., do you think, ensure that this unity lasts due to that history? >> i think we're in pretty good shape now given the leadership of both countries. they made the difficult decisions. it was very controversial in both countries. what the japanese did was too much for some japanese, not enough for many in south korea. so both leaders have paid something of a political price, but i think they've now done that. i'd be surp

unfortunately, this has not been a popular decision in south korea. 60% of the south korean public oppose decision by the president. i think what he's been trying to do is move very rapidly to improve security relations with japan and the u.s. to lock in these games so they will survive , even after his presidential term ends in 2027. president biden sees this opportunity to move the ball forward by inviting both the prime minister and president to camp david. >> thank you for your insight. we appreciate it. a top israeli delegation is here in washington to discuss the broad outlines of a once unthinkable agreement between israel and the kingdom of saudi arabia to normalize diplomatic relations. nick schifrin explains. >> the agreement shepherded by the trump administration between israel and former adversaries come the prospect of the biggest prize, but what price for israel, u.s. and saudi arabia? unprecedented civil of people -- up people as the government looks to constrain the supreme court in what critics say could destroy the nature of israeli democracy. with me to discuss this is

president joe biden standing alongside leaders of japan and south korea. a first-of-its-kind trilateral meeting at camp david. japanese prime minister fumio kishida and south korean president yoon suk-yeol will deliver remarks alongside president biden in just a moment. since they are both individually our allies, you might wonder what makes this so special. south korea and japan are not exactly chummy. they've got a long and a complicated history stemming largely from japan's brutal 35-year occupation of the peninsula. the united states has long tried to strengthen the relationship to create a more formidable bond across asia. but it hasn't quite worked until now. what's changed? and will today's summit lead to something in writing, a joint agreement between all three nations? what would that mean for china? joining me now is nbc news senior white house correspondent kelly o'donnell, who is at camp david, you saw her there with the president and the the director of the meeting. how did president biden get these two leaders to come and stand side by side at

so whether you're sitting in south korea, looking to the north or you're sitting in japan looking to a broader sweep on as a reference to the north, to north korea, to the west, china, across the east, trying to see the japanese military looks to their, to, to perform whatever task they need to defend japan. but beyond that, their broader conversations about maritime security. we've just witness and the reach and of course, chinese tensions with the philippines in the south china sea. there are questions about whether or not the behavior of the chinese military across the region, again, particularly in the maritime domain, is safe and, and peaceful. so you have, i think, not an integration of the military's to, to stand up to 40 article 5 type cooperation. but you do have an assertion here by the leaders that they have a state, they have shared state, and they will be coordinating and acting in concert should the region be under threat of the historical significance of japan and south korea. we typically really put this historical friction completely behind them and the question thing

first late, south korea and africa have an important food resourcing comment. south korea is also the only country that has managed to become self sufficient in terms of rise production in a very short period of time. set a goal because the need donna can ruin you get can you and getting the south have signed onto the project which will distribute college and ry seats that are high yielding and more resistant to pest and disease. so we'll also share technology with partner countries to help develop funding infrastructure and adults, because to go to yeah, i've been to this does like go through it not 50 years ago. there was always empty in corner here, or this is exactly what we ought to be in most of the countries, the seeds are expected to yield, how this up to 3 times larger than local variety tools. it has been developed to adapt to with the conditions in the participating countries. the program aims to distribute more than $9000.00 tons of rise see each year by 2027 south korea's ministry of agriculture. food and rule says, says that should produce enough

paul: in terms of domestic politics, how difficult has it been for the leaders of japan and south korea these closer ties to their unpaid, and is there a risk that this moments could pass? sheila: yeah, it has been quite difficult, especially for the south korean president. there was a poll in 2020 that only 20% of south koreans but japan is a good partner. to date that is up almost 25 points. i think we always have to keep in mind this is a difficult relationship for both countries and yet you see japanese and koreans working together in the private sector and students willingly travel and teach in each other's countries, but we have to take seriously the diplomatic challenges of the legacy issues. that being said, everybody is looking to a region where the rules-based order may no longer prevail, and that is the security area and also economic as they have been a focus of beijing's economic coercion, so the public also understands we are in a tricky period. paul: this is the first time these three leaders have met for a trilateral get-together that is not on the sidelines of another e

unfortunately, this has not been a popular decision in south korea. 60% of the south korean public oppose the decision, so i think what president yoon has been trying to do is to move very rapidly to improve security relations with japan as well as the united states to lock in these gains so that they will survive even after his presidential term ends in 2027. president biden has seized this historic opportunity to move the ball forward by inviting both prime minister kishida and president yoon to camp david. geoff: thank you for your insights this evening. we appreciate it. >> thank you. geoff: top level israeli delegation is in washington to discuss the broad outlines of a once unthinkable agreement between israel and the kingdom of saudi arabia to normalize diplomatic relations. nick: several agreements shepherded by the trump administration between israel and its former adversaries comes another prospect of the biggest price, but at what price for israel, the united states, and saudi arabia? at the same time, unprecedented upheaval groups israel as benjamin young -- benjamin netanyahu

from the leaders of the us, japan and south korea, the for historical 1st 3 waste on it as invite and 6 deep had been a treat and academic ties in the south pacific. the account of china is rise for the anamosa, japan and south korea types to co operate to come back to the regional threats. also on the program. west african countries prefer for an intervention in this. yeah, but the plans by echo asked around last month's crew by force could be halted by other african countries wanting to avoid conflict. a plus, the bonus maker is back with all eyes on binds lasers, superstar, assigning the champions of fluids, england captain, how returning from the talking to the hospice is expected to school the goals to help them to a 12 consecutive times the . and so again, you're welcome to the program, the leaders of the united states, japan and south korea meeting of the us presidential victory to come to david for that 1st effort dr. actual summit and expected to assign a security agreement to invest funds to growing regional threats. which includes i do think 2 consults during times of crisi

although there is no agreement with the prime minister of japan and the president of south korea bidenthis time i did not sign in washington, i believe that an important step has been taken to forge a new regional alliance opposing china and north korea this is the first summit that i i'm running as president. i can't think of a better place to start a new era of our collaboration, not one day of the week or months, but decades. the relations that we continue to build a tripartite collective security agreement are not visible at this stage, but the negotiators confirmed their readiness for closer cooperation. in the field of defense , annual joint military exercises and tripartite summits are also envisaged between washington. tokyo and seoul will open a hotline to discuss security-related issues. including economic , more serious coordination between korea and the united states and japan requires a stronger institutional framework. in addition, we must meet the challenges that threaten regional security by strengthening our commitment to working together south korea's most widely read

president joe biden standing alongside leaders of japan and south korea. alongside president biden in just a moment. since they are both individually our allies, you might wonder what makes this so special. south korea and japan are not exactly chummy. they've got a long and a complicated history stemming largely from

bloom and blossom, i wish to take this moment to raise the security coordination between japan, south korea u.s. to new heights while strengthening the coordination between the japan, u.s. and the alliances as we deepen our cooperation and response to north korea. i wish to expand and deepen our collaboration in areas including economic security such as critical and emerging technology cooperation and supply chains resilience. today i look forward to engaging in a frank discussions amongst ourselves in order to declare a new era of japan, usa and south korea partnership. i once again express my gratitude for joe's initiative. thank you. >> thank you. >> president biden: i politely ask the press to leave. thank you for coming in. >> john: see if the president answers any questions here. >> thank you so much. thank you, everybody. >> thank you so much. >> john: doesn't look like he is in a mood to answer questions, which isn't surprising. there you see it. that's an historic event. the president of the united states together with the prime minister of japan and the president of south korea to

because historically, this been tension between south korea and japan? can you help explain why and how big an obstacle that could be to ever come here? well, it has been an obstacle in the past, so japan, a governor and korea for 35 years in the early 20th century, under a harsh colonial regime. they were liberated with the defeat of japan and world war 2, which the anniversary of that was just earlier this week. so there had been a lot of grievance and resentment on the side of both careers. in fact, with a feeling that japan had not shown sufficient contrition and so forth for the colonial period. so that's always been an obstacle in the past. but i think the increasing threats, the changing military technology that requires try try lateral cooperation across different domains of war fighting and so forth. it's the only way to balance against that threat. and so the incentives for cooperates are just too high and i think they will move forward for closer try lateral security cooperation. it's in the seems that way from what we thing from the summit. so
