US-South Korea Nuclear Weapons Deal To Counter North Korean Threat

The United States and South Korea have agreed on a number of steps aimed at bolstering the two countries' longstanding defense alliance in the face of growing nuclear threats posed by North Korea.

Under the newly unveiled "Washington Declaration," the two countries have committed to engaging in deeper dialogue and information sharing efforts and announced the establishment of a nuclear consultative group. The Extended Deterrence Strategy and Consultation Group aims to better prepare the Alliance to defend against potential attacks and nuclear use and conduct simulations to inform joint planning efforts.
