This statement was made in response to the Washington Declaration, which was issued by South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and US President Joe Biden on April 26, 2023.
The Washington Declaration involved the bolstering of the US nuclear umbrella over South Korea, which has become increasingly concerned about North Korea’s aggression. The agreement would also involve the regular deployment of strategic assets, including a nuclear ballistic submarine visiting a South Korean port for the first time in decades.
