Nuclear-armed US submarine makes first port call in South Korea in decades in an effort to deter rising threats from the North
The presence of the Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine in the South Korean port city of Busan was announced by the country’s Defense Ministry on Tuesday afternoon. It came as Kurt Campbell, coordinator for the Indo-Pacific at the US National Security Council, was at the inaugural meeting in Seoul of the Nuclear Consultative Group . The NCG is a joint US and South Korean panel set up by the countries’ leaders at a summit in Washington in April.
The “Washington Declaration” included a set of measures aimed at making Pyongyang think twice about launching an attack on its southern neighbor. “Our mutual defense treaty is iron clad and that includes our commitment to extend a deterrence – and that includes the nuclear threat, the nuclear deterrent,” Biden said at the time. The establishment of the NCG came out of that Biden-Yoon meeting.
