A top US military officer will be trying to contain the fallout between Seoul and Tokyo on his first overseas trip on the job.
"It is in our interests to keep all three of us very closely aligned," US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley said of South Korea and Japan while en route to the region, according to a Press release from the US Department of Defence on Monday, Xinhua reported.
The overseas trip, the first since he assumed office on September 30, reflected concern among US officials over the straining relationship between its two Asian allies.
