White House Says U.S. and South Korea Preparing Response to “Nuclear Use” by North Korea
The White House said Tuesday (Jan. 3) that the US and South Korea are stepping up cooperation and preparing a coordinated response to any potential “nuclear use” by North Korea.
According to AFP, a National Security Council spokesperson said President Biden and South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol have “tasked their teams to plan for an effective coordinated response to a range of scenarios, including nuclear use by North Korea.”
The comments came after Yoon said that the US and South Korea were in talks on expanding cooperation to include US nuclear forces in joint military exercises.
Yoon said he received positive feedback from the US about the proposal, but President Biden sparked some confusion when he replied “no” after being asked if the US and South Korea were discussing joint nuclear drills.
