SEOUL - South Korea’s decision to scrap a military intelligence-sharing pact with Japan has led to an increasingly public split with the United States, just when the allies face rising tensions with North Korea and new competition from China and Russia.
A South Korean veterans group later canceled a speech by Harris scheduled for Thursday, citing the “rapidly changing security circumstances”. Japanese officials have said South Korea’s decision showed a failure to appreciate the growing threat from North Korea. “The United States has repeatedly made clear to the Moon administration that this decision would have a negative effect, not only in the bilateral relationship with Japan, but on U.S. security interests and those of other friends and allies,” he said at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
