How Trump and Lee can ‘modernize’ the US-South Korean alliance
Editor’s note: In an indictment unsealed in the Southern District of New York on July 16, 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice charged Sue Mi Terry with engaging in a conspiracy to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act and with failing to register as an agent of the Government of the Republic of Korea. Terry has been an occasional guest contributor of Brookings but has not been a Brookings employee or affiliate.
In May 2021, the United States and South Korea issued a joint statement that articulated an expansion of their alliance relationship to address various regional security concerns. Under a new era of expanded U.S.-South Korea partnership, how will the two countries navigate their strategic interests on the Korean Peninsula?
On December 2, the Center for East Asia Policy Studies at the Brookings Institution and the East Asia Institute (EAI) will co-host a distinguished panel of experts from the U.S. and South Korea to discuss the North Korea variable in U.S.-South Korea cooperation, U.S.-China strategic competition and its impact on the Korean Peninsula, and the future role of the U.S.-South Korea alliance.
