WASHINGTON (AP) — About 200 people from the worlds of politics, business and entertainment are gathering at the White House on Wednesday night for a black-tie dinner with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol. Yoon is on a state visit at President Joe Biden’s invitation to celebrate his country’s 70-year alliance with the United States. Nearly 7,000 people were on the White House lawn for Yoon’s arrival ceremony earlier Wednesday. It will be a more intimate affair for those joining both presidents and their wives for dinner. Guests will dine on crabcakes, beef ribs and banana splits. The menu was prepared with Korean touches by Korean American guest chef Edward Lee.
