Vice President Joe Biden reaffirmed the US’s commitment to Asia during a speech at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea, Dec. 6.

Biden said trust and shared rules are needed to support the collective goal of prosperity in the region. “This is one of those inflection points in history,” Biden said. “We actually have a chance—a chance—to bend history just slightly.”
