WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that South Korea and Japan need to get along, in comments referring to a dispute between two key U.S. allies.

Seoul and Tokyo are mired in a deepening political and trade dispute, which is fanning concerns that it might undercut three-way security cooperation to fend off North Korea's nuclear threats.
