President Biden also posted a 1 minute and 42 second video on Twitter featuring scenes from the South Korea-U.S. summit and President Yoon’s state visit to the U.S.

He continued, "Today, we celebrate our steel-strong alliance, our shared vision for the future, and the deep friendship that binds South Korea and the United States as one," saying, "The alliance between South Korea and the United States has grown stronger and more capable over the past 70 years." He added that the two countries are united by democratic values and are jointly addressing global challenges.
