(The Guardian) Biden hails 'unbreakable' US-Japanese ties as he welcomes Kishida to White House
Joe Biden welcomed Japan’s prime minister, Fumio Kishida, to the White House this morning as he hailed “unbreakable” US-Japanese ties and lauded the Japanese leader’s quick “courageous” opposition to Vladimir Putin’s full-fledged invasion of Ukraine and for improving relations with South Korea

“Ours is truly a global partnership. For that, Mr Prime Minister Kishida, I thank you,” Biden said. -- Now our two countries are building a stronger defense partnership and a strong Indo-Pacific than ever before.

Kishida will address Congress on Thursday and join Biden and the president of the Philippines, Ferdinand Marcos Jr, for a meeting expected to focus on Beijing’s South China Sea incursions.

I don't feel like this is just about Ukraine. South Korea and Japan are the two countries that Kim Jon Un threatens to bomb on a monthly basis.
