Signal to North Korea – US moves nuclear submarine to South Korea

Date:

In recent weeks, the North Korean regime has awakened the international community with several missile and other weapons tests. This clash of arms has led to an intensification of defense cooperation between the US and South Korea. Now Washington also wants to station a nuclear submarine in South Korea – in response to Pyongyang’s nuclear activities.

US President Joe Biden and his South Korean counterpart Yoon Suk Yeol, who is currently visiting Washington, want to announce this during a joint appearance on Wednesday. In addition to an improved military defense shield, the statement by the two presidents also provides for a more intensive exchange of information between Washington and Seoul.

No U.S. nuclear weapons planned in South Korea
According to government information, there are no plans to transfer US nuclear weapons to South Korea. In addition, Seoul reiterates its promise that the country will not look for its own nuclear arsenal. The submarine’s stationing should only be temporary, according to a report from the CNN news channel.

A government official told the TV channel that the statement should send a “clear message” to North Korea: “If challenged in any way, we will be prepared to respond collectively and en masse.”
