The United States will give the South Korea a central role in the strategic planning of nuclear weapons in any conflict with North Korea in exchange that Seoul will not try to create its own arsenal of nuclear weapons and retain non-nuclear status. The above -mentioned agreement, which is called the Washington Declaration, is one of the main parts of the South Korea President's visit to the United States.
Although the United States has officially officially approved the non -use of nuclear weapons first, but according to officials, such a decision may be made after North Korea uses nuclear weapons against South Korea. WSJ noted that the United States placed tactical nuclear weapons in South Korea in 1958, but after the end of the Cold War in 1991 was taken out. South Korea has abandoned its nuclear weapons development program and joined the Nuclear Weapon Non -Publication Treaty.
According to him, countries that do not have nuclear weapons undertake to never develop or buy it. Recall that South Korea President Jun Jol Yol Jol on April 19 stated that his country could give weapons to Ukraine if there was a large -scale attack on civilian population. On April 12, the Agreement on the provision of 500,000 South Korean artillery shells to South Korea 155-mm was rented. This is about half of the volume that the United States has handed over to Ukraine last year.
