Despite US intelligence leaks, White House says relations with South Korea are ‘ironclad’

Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called the United States’ commitment to South Korea ‘ironclad’ during a White House briefing Tuesday. “U.S. officials, as we have said many times, are engaging more broadly with our allies and partners at high levels to reassure them of our commitment to safeguarding intelligence and fidelity to our security partnerships,” said Jean-Pierre.
