South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol will visit the United States next week for a summit with President Joe Biden as the allies grapple for ways to handle the challenge posed by North Korea's growing nuclear and missile arsenal.
North Korea says it needs its weapons to protect itself from plans by South Korea and the U.S. for "regime change". South Korea and the United States deny any such intention.
Yoon has been pushing to boost South Korea's role in operating what is known as U.S. extended deterrence, the American nuclear umbrella protecting its allies.for South Korea to help it battle Russian forces. South Korea, a major producer of artillery ammunition, has tried to avoid antagonising Russia, due largely to commercial interests and Russian influence over North Korea, focusing instead on humanitarian and financial aid for Ukraine.
Yoon will hold a summit and a joint news conference with Biden on April 26 and deliver a speech to the U.S. Congress on April 27 before travelling to Boston where he is due to speak at the Harvard Kennedy School, Kim said.
