President Yoon Seok-yeol, US President Joe Biden, and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will gather at Camp David, the US presidential villa, on the 18th local time.
As one of the important agendas of the Korea-US-Japan summit is cooperation in responding to the North Korean nuclear issue, North Korea is expected to react sensitively before and after the summit.
In particular, North Korea is in full swing in military cooperation with Russia after showing close moves with China and Russia at the so-called ‘Victory Day’ celebration last month.

Accordingly, there is a possibility that North Korea may materialize an arms deal with Russia before or after the summit.
There is still the possibility of armed provocations such as launching intercontinental ballistic missiles and ICBMs over the Korea-US-Japan summit.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un also made an outright military threat on the 9th, pointing with his finger to Seoul and other places on the map, saying to prepare for war more aggressively.

There is also a possibility that North Korea, which failed to launch a military reconnaissance satellite in May, will launch a military reconnaissance satellite again.
In this regard, North Korea announced that it would launch a satellite at an arbitrary time through a recently published monthly magazine for external propaganda.
