The US, Japan and South Korea are aiming to establish a three-way hot line following a summit among the countries’ leaders this week, a senior White House official said.
“We’re going to invest in technology to have a three-way hotline,” Kurt Campbell, deputy assistant to President Joe Biden and coordinator for Indo-Pacific Affairs said in Washington ahead of the summit. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol are set to depart Thursday for the meeting at the Camp David presidential retreat in rural Maryland on Friday.
