South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and President Biden have announced a dual-country agreement to deter North Korea, including deploying U.S. nuclear submarines.
. The White House released the agreement, and senior Biden administration officials spelled out the details ahead of time.
"Look, a nuclear attack by North Korea against the United States or its allies or partisans — or partners — is unacceptable and will result in the end of whatever regime were to take such an action," Mr. Biden said."What the declaration means is that we're going to make every effort to consult with our allies when it's appropriate, if any action is so called for.
and agreed that"occasional" and"very clear demonstrations of the strength" of U.S. extended deterrence capabilities needed to be an essential aspect of the agreement., Mr. Biden and Yoon first met in Cambodia in November and in February, agreed to make the declaration the centerpiece of Yoon's current visit to Washington.
In the midst of the Cold War in the late 1970s, U.S. nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarines made frequent port visits to South Korea, sometimes two to three visits per month, according to the Federation of American Scientists. It was a period when the U.S. had hundreds of nuclear warheads located in South Korea.
North Korea's increasing nuclear threats, along with concerns about China's military and economic assertiveness in the region, have pushed the Biden administration to expand its Asian alliance. To that end, Mr. Biden has thrown plenty of attention at Yoon as well as Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. Next week, Mr. Biden will host Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for Oval Office talks.
