President Donald Trump has given the green light for South Korea to proceed with the construction of nuclear submarines, a significant development in U.S.-South Korea defense cooperation. This decision comes as part of Trump’s final days in Asia, highlighting the strategic importance of the partnership.
During a press briefing, Trump emphasized the importance of strengthening alliances in the face of growing global threats. The nuclear submarine project is expected to bolster South Korea’s naval capabilities and enhance its strategic deterrence in the region. Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy covered the announcement during ‘Special Report,’ noting its potential impact on regional security dynamics.
The move is seen as a major step in deepening the U.S.-South Korea military alliance, which has been a cornerstone of regional stability. While the exact details of the agreement were not disclosed, officials indicated that the collaboration will involve significant U.S. support in technology and infrastructure. This decision reflects Trump’s broader strategy to reinforce alliances and counter potential threats in the Asia-Pacific region.
