U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said mutual cooperation among the United States, South Korea and Japan is essential in a response to North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats, which he said ranks as one of the most dangerous problems the United States faces today.
In his keynote address delivered at a Center for a New American Security forum in Washington, D.C., Carter said coordination among the three countries is important, and that they plan to hold a trilateral anti-missile exercise, Voice of America reported Monday.
The defense secretary was referring to a planned drill to be held on the sidelines of the Rim of the Pacific naval exercises, also known as RIMPAC.
