Correct Answer: B. 20 May 2022

President Joe Biden landed in South Korea on 20 May 2022 for his first trip to Asia as US leader, aiming to cement ties with regional security allies as concerned over a North Korean nuclear test grows. Biden wants the trip to boost a years-long US pivot to Asia, where rising Chinese commercial and military power is undercutting Washington’s dominance. He received a warm welcome from South Korea’s new President Yoon Suk-Yeol, but there is growing concern that North Korea’s unpredictable leadership could conduct a nuclear test while he is in the region.
