"The alliance between the [two countries] remains ironclad. We are committed to the peace and security of the Korean Peninsula, and we will continue to be," said State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller during a press briefing.
"We will keep lines of communication open with all relevant parties in [South Korea]. The legal process and the political process should play out there consistent with the rule of law. President Yoon is the president of [South Korea], and the political process..... will play out as it should under [the country's] laws and..... constitution," he explained when asked about who U.S. President Joe Biden's counterpart is.
"What we want to see and what we have been pleased to see over the past few days is the democratic resilience of [South Korea] during a period of testing and uncertainty. And what we expect going forward is that political disagreements continue to be resolved peacefully and in accordance with the rule of law," he added.
Regarding the postponed Nuclear Consultative Group (NCG) meeting, which was supposed to take place last week in Washington, Miller said, "I don't have anything to say with regards to the rescheduling of that meeting."
But instead he instead stressed the importance of the trilateral alliance with Japan, saying that "We believe the strengthening of that trilateral alliance has been an important engagement under this administration, and we will continue to pursue it during our final days in office."
