WASHINGTON. This morning the American president was going to sign the agreement. Joe Biden with its South Korean counterpart, Yoon Seok Yeolto an american under the water armed with nuclear missiles for docking ports her South Korea. For the first time in 40 years, Americans nuclear submarines will be deployed in South Korea than Washington will emphasize its support seoul in the face of the nuclear threat of the North Korean leader Kim Chen In.

Scheduled “visits” are the central pillar of the “Washington Declaration”, a diplomatic initiative USA in the East Asian region in order to deter North Korean aggression. The deal, which the two leaders unveiled last night during President Yong’s visit to the US, comes at a particularly critical moment as Pyongyang has ramped up ballistic missile testing in recent months. Three senior Biden administration officials, who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity ahead of the official announcement last night, said Yun and Biden aides worked out the final details of the plan, which took months to develop, yesterday. In the text, the two countries agreed that an “accidental” and “very clear show of force by the US” should be at the heart of dealing with the North Korean threat.

The agreement aims to allay South Korea’s concerns about Pyongyang’s development of offensive nuclear weapons, as well as to prevent Seoul from resuming its own nuclear program, which it abandoned 50 years ago under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The US and South Korea will also strengthen their cooperation to develop a joint nuclear deterrence policy in the event of an attack from the north. The operational control of such weapons systems will remain under American control, but for now, Washington assures that there are no such weapons on the Korean Peninsula.

The pact also provides for strengthening defense cooperation between the two states so that South Korea’s defense infrastructure becomes part of a joint deterrence strategy, and South Korea reaffirms its commitment to an agreement on the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons.

During his campaign in South Korea last year, incumbent President Yoon vowed to call for more US bombers, aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines to be stationed in his country.

The two countries signed a new pact – 40 years later – in the shadow of North Korean aggression.

During the height of the Cold War in the 1970s, US nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines frequently visited South Korea, while the US stationed hundreds of nuclear warheads in South Korea. However, in 1991, the US withdrew all of its nuclear weapons, and the following year, Seoul and Pyongyang signed a joint declaration committing to halt all “testing, production, production, importation, possession, stockpiling, development, or use of nuclear weapons.”

However, Pyongyang’s repeated violations of the declaration in recent years have made the proposal to return nuclear weapons to the country popular in the US and South Korea. However, a Biden administration official said that “it is absolutely clear that there are no plans to permanently return nuclear weapons to the Korean Peninsula.”

Threats by the Pyongyang regime to use nuclear weapons and concerns about China’s growing economic and defense influence in the region prompted the Biden administration to expand its Asian alliance, with the US president focusing on leaders in Seoul, Tokyo and Manila.
