WASHINGTON - The United States hopes a damaging row between the leaders of U.S. allies South Korea and Japan has hit rock bottom but believes recent military exercises by Seoul have not helped, a senior State Department official said on Tuesday.
“I keep thinking we have reached rock bottom and then keep getting surprised,” the official said. “I’m hopeful both sides have made their point.”The official spoke on condition of anonymity given the diplomatic sensitivities in the dispute between the two main U.S. allies in Asia. The U.S. official said the dispute had “pretty much damaged the possibility of continuing in this information-sharing agreement,” but added: “It is not completely lost... There are opportunities to hopefully recover.”
