Biden's trip to South Korea and Japan has been scheduled for May 20 to 24.

Biden will also hold bilateral meetings with South Korea President Yoon Suk Yeol and Prime Minister Kishida Fumio of Japan.
"The leaders will discuss opportunities to deepen our vital security relationships, enhance economic ties and expand our close cooperation to deliver practical results.

We look forward to having further details to share about this trip soon," Psaki said.
