According to the White House, President Biden stated on the afternoon of the 19th (local time) during an event held in Los Gatos while visiting California, "We have worked very hard to reconcile our allies and unify the world," referring to the improvement of Korea-Japan relations as a diplomatic success.

President Biden said, "We worked to engage Japan and change Japan's attitude toward Korea." He also emphasized, "This is unprecedented."

He added, "(Japan) reconciled with Korea after a long time since World War II," and "The situation is changing."
