"Strengthening South Korea-US Partnership for Nuclear Deterrence Against North Korea"

The US has pledged to share more insight into its nuclear planning with South Korea to deter the North Korean threat. The announcement came after White House talks between US President Joe Biden and South Korean leader Yoon Suk Yeol, covering issues including North Korea, semiconductor chips and trade, and the Ukraine war. The US will give Seoul detailed insights into, and a voice in, US contingency planning to deter and respond to any nuclear incident in the region through a US-ROK Nuclear Consultative Group. The US will also deploy a ballistic-missile submarine to South Korea in a show of force, but no US nuclear weapons will be stationed on South Korean territory.
