South Korea and the U.S. are discussing joint planning and exercises involving U.S. nuclear assets to counter North Korea's growing nuclear and missile threats.
President Yoon Suk-yeol stated these efforts aim for more effective implementation of the U.S. 'extended deterrence,' with Washington showing a positive response.
The discussions occur amidst heightened tensions, following North Korea's recent calls for developing new intercontinental ballistic missiles and expanding its nuclear arsenal, alongside a record number of missile tests.
Despite the talks on nuclear asset use, President Yoon reaffirmed South Korea's commitment to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
