and this is part of that process of coalition building. south korea and japanre two of our stalwart allies in the world. they are the first two countries that he had summits with last year. and so the emphasis here is trying to do in asia, northeast asia what the president has already done with nato which is to pull together our allies and partners who are all working with us in common cause and to do the same sort of thing in asia both on the economic front as well as on the security front. >> south korea and japan having a sort of notoriously fractious relationship, which hasn't really improved in the past couple of years. so i guess he's hoping he can maybe bring these two together. this will be the first time that president biden will have met president yoon. so explain some of the key differences between yoon and his predecessor, moon jae-in, and how that might translate into a different relationship with biden in the u.s. >> sure. the former korean president placed improved relations with north korea right at the top of his agenda. he was also accused of

of all, i would say peace and stability in east asia is the most important. if we look at japan. amazingly, japan does not have good relations with russia, with south korea, with china, or even would channels tie one province. it has territorial disputes with all these countries or province of china. and this is despite the fact that japan unconditionally surrendered at the end of the 2nd world war. so i hope japan will put a premium to peace and stability. good label include rather then slide to rewrite history. japan unconditionally surrendered. and japan will make huge mistake if it invites nuclear weapons from the united states to be based in japan, because this will be our fair to the japanese people. now secondly, in terms of economic development, china has never falster, any foreign country to enter china. all the flooring companies, hundreds of thousands of them enter the china are entirely, if you give me any one country which is forced to buy china by in come point or by coercion to enter the china market, tell me you cannot give me any single lane. why do they want to come to china because of the size of the chinese economy? because of the rapid eco

but now the president really wants to come here to reaffirm the importance of these key personal lie answers in japan and south korea and sort of demonstrate that he is still focused on this region. what u.s. officials say is that of course they can focus on two things at the same time and in fact the president's ability to rally allies behind a sanctions regime against russia is actually very reassuring to american allies in asia who are looking at the situation here and wondering what might happen in the next several years or decades. and so certainly north korea is high on the agenda as paula laid out, u.s. officials sort of bracing for a potential provocation should that happen while the president is here on the peninsula. but of course the other major issue that is looming over this trip sort of unspoken but certainly a major factor is china. and the president has really sort of made it a central facet of his foreign policy to counter china and sort of compete in the same military and economic space as china does in asia. and so when you see the president arrive, first thing that he will do is go to this
