as she emphasized U.S. commitment to the security of its Asian allies in the face of an increasingly aggressive North Korea.
At the DMZ, Harris went to the top of a ridge, near guard towers and security cameras. She looked through bulky binoculars as a South Korean colonel pointed out military installations on the southern side. Then an American colonel pointed out some of the defenses along the military demarcation line, including fence topped with barbed wire and claymore mines. He said American soldiers regularly walk patrols along a path.“It’s so close,” Harris said.
Yoon tweeted that he had a “very productive discussion” with Harris on strengthening their bilateral alliance.Leah Millis / AFP - Getty Images Yoon, who took office earlier this year, had anchored his election campaign with vows to deepen Seoul’s economic and security partnership with Washington to navigate challenges posed by the North Korean threat and address potential supply chain risks caused by the pandemic, the U.S.-China rivalry and Russia’s war on Ukraine. But the alliance has been marked by tension recently.
After meeting Yoon, Harris, the first woman to serve as U.S. vice president, held a roundtable with female leaders in business, media, culture and sports on gender equity issues. As they did at her meetings in Japan, however, regional security issues dominated the final day of Harris’ trip.
