According to Washington (United States) and Seoul (South Korea)there is a real possibility that Pyongyang (North Korea) choose provocation during this move.

It is a visit under high tension, Friday, May 20, like any trip by an American president to the Korean peninsula. Joe Biden must go to Seoul (South Korea), barely 300 km from the border with North Korea. The Head of State will then travel to Tokyo (Japan). According to Washington and Seoul, there is a real possibility that Pyongyang will choose provocation, i.e. a type of ballistic missile, or even a nuclear test. It would be the seventh.

North Korea is still hit by international sanctions, but continues to step up its military program. Until now, the US administration has always played firm, asking for tangible signs of denuclearization before starting the dialogue. For the time being, this is not taking the path, explains the journalist from France Télévisions, Arnauld Miguet.
