Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman cited "some bilateral differences" between the two Asian allies of the U.S. "that are continuing to be resolved, unrelated to today's meeting" as the reason she appeared alone in front of reporters.
Historical grievances between Japan and South Korea resurfaced in September, when a South Korean court ordered assets seized from Japanese industrial group Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to be sold as compensation for women forced to work for the company during World War II.
Sherman and her counterparts, Choi Jong-kun of South Korea and Mori Takeo of Japan, discussed North Korea's nuclear program and cooperation toward a free and open Indo-Pacific, among other topics.
The three were scheduled to hold a news conference together after the talks.

I hope they didn’t send Kamala.
She’d be trying to talk with a Japanese accent, while acting like a chatty, pushy American.

Sherman is a career democrat flunkie who has an unrelieved history of failure as a negotiator. She even has history of making intemperate remarks in 2015 about the Korean/Japanese issue at hand regarding “comfort women” during WWII.
Putting her in the same room with Japanese and Korean representatives, for whatever reason, was an act of mindless stupidity, and bound to end badly after she said something rude to piss off the Koreans; and probably the Japanese as well.
Asians don’t forget.

Thank you.
Another Biden screw up.
It just keeps getting worse.
The Shart of the Deal
He splattered this one, for sure.
I’m going to start calling the Biden administration the anti-Midas Bizarro World! (Like in Seinfeld’s bizarro world - the opposite is their world)
