The South Korean president’s visit came amid fears over North Korea’s nuclear buildup.
Seoul reiterated its commitment not to make or buy nuclear weapons.
For the first time since 1991, American ballistic armed submarines will call at South Korean ports to support Pyongyang’s threats. According to Joe Biden, the United States will not deploy nuclear weapons in South Korea.
In addition, the leaders of South Korea and the USA announced their support for Ukraine at a joint press conference. Joe Biden stressed that South Korea’s strong support is important because Russia’s brazen violation of international law concerns peoples around the world, not just those in Europe.
Recall that the United States will give South Korea a central role in strategic planning for the use of nuclear weapons in the conflict with North Korea. At the same time, Seoul will not try to develop its own nuclear arsenal.
Earlier, the South Korean President had stated that his country could supply weapons to Ukraine in case of a large-scale attack on civilians.
