U.S. President Joe Biden & South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol agree to strengthen South Korea's defences and regularly deploy U.S. strategic assets

U.S. President Joe Biden and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol have agreed to strengthen South Korea's defences and regularly deploy U.S. strategic assets.

 

Both the leaders held a summit last week, during which Biden pledged to give Seoul more insight into its nuclear planning over any conflict with North Korea as anxiety grows over Pyongyang's weapons programmes and the American nuclear umbrella. As part of



the efforts, a U.S. Navy nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarine will visit South Korea for the first time since the 1980s.

 

North Korea yesterday criticised the U.S-South Korea agreement to bolster the deployment of American strategic assets in the region. State media KCNA termed the agreement as the most hostile and aggressive action against North Korea.
