Less bonus coverage of important u. S. Rok alliance issues including the upcoming economic dialogue started by the way by yours truly and the new vice ministerial lifestyle by possibly. Our very special guest this week is also our most frequent guest and are only repeat guest by the way is perfectly positioned to give us critical insights into these topics and more. Someone everyone knows well, Deputy Assistant secretary for koreajapan marc knapper, a graduate of princeton. We all know his bio well. Look it up on by which is to refresh of some highlights.

Today we are discussing the japansouth korea trade dispute. Its obviously a a very sensit, a very difficult issue between two countries that are critically important to the United States as allies, as Economic Partners, as fellow democracies, and as friends. You will notice the title of event includes ramifications and the path forward. I emphasize forward because the current dispute is due in part to events that have taken place months or years or decades or centuries ago. But rather than dwelling on those issues, we want to identify away from for both cos and in the three countries including the United States to move forward.

Thats come and gone obviously, but i still am hopeful that theres a way, even if you cant resolve some of the deeper issues, to find a way to Work Together on a shared interest because there are some compelling ones.
