It runs counter to China's interests and ours," he told Voice of America (VOA).

At that time, the then-elect Yoon immediately heard the news of President Biden's visit to Korea in May, and he was delighted with that as well. We exchanged opinions on how important the US-Korea summit is, and we also had deep discussions about the economic situation in Korea.”
“North Korea’s response to the missile issue begins with cooperation between the three countries (South Korea, the US and Japan),” Fulner said. The two presidents will certainly discuss China. This will include finding ways to constructively cooperate with China on the issue of North Korea, which continues to provoke in violation of various UN Security Council resolutions. "To remind the North Korean leader that provocations will backfire."
Regarding the meeting between President-elect Yoon, Fulner said, “We had a deep discussion about the Korean economic situation.

Security is the stable foundation on which everything else is supported and the foundation on which to build growth relationships. Now is the time to approach economically. “I am very proud that the United States has economic reciprocal relationships with large global companies in Korea such as Samsung, Hanwha, and Hyundai.”

What if Quad becomes a quint, a gathering of five countries?” “Including Korea in the Council for anything is important for Asia as a whole. We need to show China, which is currently in a delicate relationship with the US, that there is a consultative body that has a different view from what they are aiming for,” he said directly after the Korea-US summit.
