The South Korean president on an official visit to Washington has argued for the need for "overwhelming superior force" to secure peace with Pyongyang.


Peace with North Korea is only possible by showing strength, not '

goodwill

', South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said Wednesday during a joint press conference with Joe Biden at the House -White.

"

We can achieve peace through overwhelming superior force, not a fake peace based on goodwill from the other side

," Yoon said. "

I'm excited about that prospect

," Joe Biden added.

What happens in the next two, three, four years is going to determine what the next decade looks like.

Danger to democracy

Asked about Donald Trump, 76, Mr. Biden said: “

I know him well and I know the danger he represents for our democracy.

"

We've been through all of this before

," he stressed.

Joe Biden announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election on Tuesday, promising to restore "

dignity

" to working-class America.

If the democrat displays an unusual endurance, juggling between international crises and major reforms, his main handicap remains his age.

Never before had the Americans elected such an old president, nor had a candidate asked them to leave him the keys of the White House until he was 86 years old.
