Indo-Pacific leaders race to meet with next U.S. president after election
WASHINGTON -- Japan and South Korea are making plans to secure a top-level meeting with the next U.S. president after the Nov. 5 election, when multiple leaders gatherings will be held in the Americas.
With polls showing a tight race between Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican former President Donald Trump, each embassy has two plans: for its country's leader to either visit Harris in Washington or visit Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
