That's what I would think too, but meanwhile Japanese PM Kishida looked very happy about the meeting and moving forward with FTA talks. I have no clue as to how South Korea felt about it, though given this was a trilateral talk I would assume similar sentiments. If that FTA does become a thing, the US will have lost before any hot war even began. May we live in fun times.
