The United States and South Korea held a meeting in Washington on Wednesday to discuss cooperation on deterrence strategies.

During the second meeting of the Extended Deterrence Strategy and Consultation Group, the two sides discussed the coordination of the "maximum pressure" campaign against Pyongyang. Washington also reiterated its commitment to Seoul to deter potential aggression as long as the DPRK's nuclear threats still exists. Earlier this week, Washington also co-hosted a ministerial-level meeting in Vancouver gathering former allies in the Korean War.
