US nuclear sub visiting S. Korea to boost deterrence FMTNews FMTWorld
The US stressed that use of American nuclear weapons remains under sole authority of its president.
Biden and Yoon, at the White House for a state visit, will issue a document called the Washington Declaration outlining how in addition to a beefed-up US military umbrella, the US will increase information sharing with Seoul. Officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, stressed that there are no plans to station US nuclear weapons in South Korea – a difference from the Cold War, when US strategic weapons were deployed to Europe.“We’ll announce that we intend to take steps to make our deterrence more visible through the regular deployment of strategic assets, including a US nuclear ballistic submarine visit to South Korea, which has not happened since the early 1980s,” a senior official said.
An official said that steps are being taken in advance to defuse any potential tensions with Beijing over the tougher military posture.
