US president Biden arrives in Japan with no response from North Korea on outreach

gnoring Washington's attempt at outreach.

The trip, which comes as rival China is experiencing significant economic disruption due to Covid-19 outbreaks, has been touted by Washington as a display of US determination to maintain its commercial and military edge across the region.

Period," he said.Military exercises

Joint exercises had been scaled back due to Covid-19 and for Biden and Yoon's predecessors, Donald Trump and Moon Jae-in, to embark on a round of high-profile but ultimately unsuccessful diplomacy with North Korea. He also met US and South Korean troops alongside Yoon, a schedule that a senior White House official said was able to"reflect the truly integrated nature" of the countries' economic and military alliance.
