Lima: Trump’s explosive comeback in the 2024 US presidential election has caused a sensation in many countries around the world. The reason is obvious: Trump is known for his fearless, fearless style of governing from Europe to Asia. This is why many U.S. allies are also afraid of Trump’s return. With Trump returning to the United States, many countries face the threat of undermining alliances. Under such circumstances, outgoing President Joe Biden met with the leaders of Japan and South Korea on Friday in an effort to give confidence to allies. Biden seeks to strengthen the alliance between the United States, Japan and South Korea to deepen cooperation against Chinese aggression.
Biden convened the meeting before Trump’s new administration took office to solidify his diplomatic progress. In the interim, Joe Biden has sought to reassure countries worried about Trump returning to undermine the alliance. This latest meeting between Washington and two of Biden’s closest Asian allies comes as Donald Trump is set to take office on January 20. In this case, in addition to U.S. allies, hostile countries also began to worry about further deterioration in relations.
Conflict with Beijing and Iran could intensify
Trump’s return could further intensify the conflict between the United States and its archrival China. At the same time, Trump could also target Iran and North Korea. China also faces the threat of further deterioration in relations with the United States, as Trump has pledged to significantly increase tariffs that could destabilize the Chinese economy. In this case, Chinese President Xi Jinping is worried about Trump’s return to the United States. There is also a danger that many American companies may shut down business with China as a result of his arrival.
North Korea deploys troops to Russia to fight Ukraine, sparking tensions
Trump’s biggest challenge is North Korea’s deployment of troops to Russia to fight Ukraine. This has heightened tensions from Europe to Asia. On top of that, North Korea’s nuclear weapons program also reduces the chances of a peaceful resolution to the decades-old conflict with South Korea. As a result, tensions are rising in Asia. However, Trump has stepped up efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war.
The United States issued a joint statement
“Japan, South Korea and the United States join Russia in strongly condemning the decisions of North Korea and Russian leaders to dangerously expand Russia’s aggressive war in Ukraine,” Biden said in a statement after the meeting. Biden, South Korean President Yoon Seok-yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba attended the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Lima, Peru. After the meeting, the three countries announced the establishment of a trilateral secretariat, with U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan announcing the establishment of a trilateral secretariat to formalize the relationship and ensure that this was not just “a series of meetings.” Instead, persuading South Korea and Japan to cooperate is one of the diplomatic achievements of Biden’s four-year term as president, which is about to end.
All three countries are ready for face-to-face talks with China
Biden sees the close ties between the United States, Japan and South Korea as a bulwark against China’s aggressive actions in the region. But Beijing denies this. South Korean President Yoon Eun-hye also met with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday. At the same time, Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba Hiroshi and US President Biden are also preparing to hold face-to-face talks with Xi Jinping during the APEC summit. (Reuters)
