US Vice President Kamala Harris is set to meet with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol to discuss North Korea’s recent ballistic missile tests and Seoul’s dismay at new subsidies for electric cars.
Harris, who is leading the presidential delegation to Japan, will stop in Seoul on Thursday to meet with Yoon and other government officials. Kim Jong-un’s recent ballistic missile tests ahead of Harris’ visit and the US Inflation Reduction Act, which seeks to eliminate federal tax credits for electric vehicles made outside North America, will be on the agenda for the meeting, according to White House officials.
Harris’ visit to Seoul comes just days after Yoon sought help from President Joe Biden in New York to address his concerns about how the new law will hurt automakers there. Harris, meanwhile, will also condemn North Korea’s weapons tests ahead of her first visit to the DMZ, where former President Donald Trump held talks with dictator Kim. Pyongyang fired two short-range ballistic missiles off its east coast on Wednesday.
