Spying on each other is expected. It’s when you’re being spied on by the worlds most leak prone govt where an issue arises. If you’re gonna steal an allies secrets the least you can do is keep them secret.
Background
South Korea has probably the largest stock pile of US munitions in the world.
The real issue at this conference? How much is SK willing to supply to the Ukraine? What is thier comfort level?
It is safe to assume that uncle Joe is going to try to strong arm them to give until it bleeds.
Koreans are a conservative lot. They have already given alot. They are probably trying to keep what they got.
