President Joe Biden is set to hold talks with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba on Friday during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Peru. The meeting comes as North Korea has bolstered its military ties with Russia and increased its ballistic missile tests.
North Korea has deployed thousands of troops to assist Russia in reclaiming land in the Kursk border region seized by Ukraine earlier this year. Additionally, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has conducted a series of ballistic missile tests, claiming progress in developing the capability to strike the U.S. mainland.
