US President Joe Biden warned on November 15 of an era of political upheaval as he met with key allies in the Asia-Pacific.
"We are now at a time of significant political change," President Biden said when meeting Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on the sidelines of the APEC Summit in the Peruvian capital Lima, according to AFP.

Biden said this would likely be his last meeting with the trilateral group he had worked to build over the past year. But he stressed that the US-Japan-South Korea partnership was “built to last. That is my hope and expectation.”
Mr Biden also warned of North Korea's "dangerous and destabilizing cooperation with Russia", amid growing concerns about Pyongyang sending troops to Russia to fight against Ukraine, according to AFP.
The White House announced that the three leaders of the US, Japan and South Korea will announce the establishment of a secretariat to formalize the alliance initiated last year at a trilateral summit in the US.
Mr Biden’s trip to the APEC summit in Peru and the G20 summit in Brazil next week has been overshadowed by Mr Trump’s victory over Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the 2024 US presidential election.

Mr Trump's "America First" agenda threatens to tear apart US alliances as it did during his first term, although the appointment of China hardliners by Republicans in his new cabinet means he may still want to rely on Seoul and Tokyo, according to AFP.
President Biden is scheduled to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the APEC Summit on November 16 (Peru time).
