The U.S. has worked to reconcile Japan and South Korea for well over a decade as it seeks to bolster its alliances in Asia to counter China and contain North Korea\u2019s nuclear and ballistic missile programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re elevating our trilateral defense collaboration to deliver in the Indo-Pacific region,\u201d Biden said. \u201cThis is not about a day, a week or month. This is about decades and decades of relationships that we\u2019re building.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The leaders and some of their top cabinet officials agreed to meet at least once a year \u2014 in the hope that their commitments will outlast their time in office. The summit marked the first time Biden has hosted foreign leaders at the president\u2019s country residence Camp David, intended to be a symbol of its importance. Indeed, the statement released \u2014 titled \u201cThe Spirit of Camp David\u201d \u2014 calls this moment a \u201chinge point of history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden announced the three countries would establish a security hotline to consult with each other, and a joint statement announced \u201cannual, named, multi-domain trilateral exercises on a regular basis.\u201d This would include air, land, sea, undersea and cyber components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The statement is full of the three countries\u2019 future commitments, likely in response to the two U.S rivals it names. The first is China, whose maritime claims in the South China Sea it describes as \u201cdangerous and aggressive.\u201d China has increased its military drills around the island nation of Taiwan, which Beijing considers part of its territory. The statement calls for \u201cpeace and stability\u201d in the Taiwan Strait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. regularly conducts freedom of navigation operations in the South China Sea and has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2023\/03\/10\/chinas-neighbors-seek-expanded-partnerships-with-us-to-deter-defend\/\" target=\"_blank\">sought to deepen military cooperation with its Southeast Asian partners<\/a> who have overlapping claims in the disputed region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second country invoked in the statement is North Korea, whose \u201cunprecedented number of ballistic missile launches\u201d continue to rattle its neighbor to the south and Japan. The three countries \u201cremain committed to re-establishing dialogue\u201d with Pyongyang with no preconditions, according to the statement. Thus far, North Korea has declined invitations for detente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. reaffirmed its extended deterrence commitments to both countries, and the three allies vowed that by the end of the year they would begin sharing data regarding North Korean missile launches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are committed to pursuing enhanced ballistic missile defense cooperation to counter [North Korean] nuclear and missile threats,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The three countries will also collaborate more closely on supply chain security, which includes several vulnerable<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2022\/07\/26\/after-years-of-inattention-congress-scrambles-to-save-defense-supply-chain\/\" target=\"_blank\"> areas of the defense-industrial base that are often contingent on Chinese-dominated markets<\/a>. These include critical minerals, batteries, semiconductors, artificial intelligence and quantum computing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They plan to expand information sharing and launch early warning systems to combat major supply chain disruptions as well as \u201cbetter prepare us to confront and overcome economic coercion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Biden administration and Congress have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2023\/05\/05\/pentagon-seeks-to-ease-chinas-green-tech-chokehold-amid-gop-criticism\/\" target=\"_blank\">sought to lessen China\u2019s influence over critical minerals like cobalt<\/a>, which is needed to produce batteries and hard-target penetrators for the military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2023\/06\/12\/lockheed-teams-with-new-york-chipmaker-to-onshore-production\/\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. has also sought to onshore semiconductor production<\/a>, fearful that a possible Chinese attack on Taiwan could upend a global shortage as most microelectronics are produced in east Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the Biden administration has convinced Japan to mirror <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/asia-pacific\/2023\/01\/12\/how-bidens-microchip-ban-is-curbing-chinas-ai-weapons-efforts\/\" target=\"_blank\">sweeping U.S. export controls on semiconductor technology to China<\/a>. The U.S. hopes this will hobble China\u2019s AI weapons development and military quantum computing, though this also impacts civilian use for the technology such as weather forecasting and vaccine development. The joint statement vows to \u201cstrengthen trilateral cooperation on export controls.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The three leaders also reaffirmed their support for aiding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ukraine<\/a> \u201cagainst Russia\u2019s unprovoked and brutal war of aggression.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe believe the lasting lesson from this catastrophic war of aggression must be the international community\u2019s abiding will to uphold the principles of territorial integrity, sovereignty and the peaceful resolution of disputes,\u201d the statement read. \u201cWe reaffirm our view that when these foundational principles are rejected anywhere, they represent a threat to our region.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S., Japan and South Korea agreed to instate annual military exercises, collaborate on missile defense
