VP KamalaHarris accidentally commends alliance with ‘Republic of North Korea’ during DMZ visit
The slip-up came during the vice president’s first visit to the DMZ on Thursday, where Harris vowed U.S. support for South Korea against the North Korean government. The DMZ acts as a buffer zone between the two countries. Harris's visit came just one day after North Korea fired a third ballistic missile into the sea, following two other missile firings that occurred while she was visiting Japan.
KAMALA HARRIS:"The United States shares a very important relationship, which is an alliance with the Republic of North Korea." pic.twitter.com/H2dI5UYOlo"I cannot state enough that the commitment of the United States to the defense of the Republic of Korea is iron-clad and that we will do everything in our power to ensure that it has meaning in every way that the words suggest," Harris said, according to Fox News.
Harris denounced North Korea’s government and its “illicit weapons program” during a speech on Wednesday at the U.S. Fleet Activities in Yokosuka. Harris’s stop at the DMZ was the final stop of her diplomatic trip to Asia.Before visiting the DMZ, Harris met with South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol to discuss the countries' economic and technological alliances. During that meeting, the two world leaders also condemned North Korea for its threats of nuclear tests.
Shortly after her speech, Harris departed from Osan Air Base to head to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.
