[ANALYSIS] Nuclear-armed submarines will not stop North Korea’s provocations

President Yoon Suk Yeol and his U.S. counterpart Joe Biden announced a new security deal in Washington, Wednesday (local time), aimed at deterring North Korea’s intensifying nuclear threats and highlighting the U.S. leader’s decision to send a nuclear-armed submarine to South Korean waters for the first time in 40 years. Much of the agreement remains subject to working-level reviews and negotiations. But they agreed on two specific plans: The U.S. will “further enhance the regular visibility of strategic assets,” including its nuclear ballistic missile submarines (SSBN) and open a communication channel with Seoul over “any possible nuclear weapons employment” on the peninsula.
