US to dock nuclear subs in SKorea for 1st time in 40 years

Presidents Biden and Yoon Suk Yeol signed the "Washington Declaration," a landmark agreement for U.S. nuclear-armed submarines to dock in South Korea for the first time in over 40 years.
This move aims to significantly deter North Korea's escalating nuclear threats and reassure South Korea, preventing it from developing its own nuclear weapons program.
The declaration strengthens the 70-year U.S.-South Korea alliance through deeper coordination on nuclear response strategy, enhanced joint military training, and South Korea's reaffirmation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
U.S. officials clarified there are no plans to redeploy tactical nuclear weapons permanently to the Korean Peninsula, focusing instead on occasional visits and regular deployment of assets like bombers and aircraft carriers.
