Abstract

The article discusses ongoing private negotiations between the United States and South Korea to jointly develop nuclear-powered submarines for their respective navies, marking a significant potential shift in their military alliance. Following a recent summit where the two presidents announced South Korea's capability to build its own submarines, discussions have expanded to include joint production plans and the possibility of utilizing U.S. submarine designs. Key issues remain unresolved, including the specifics of submarine types, production locations, and the sequence of construction. The negotiations also involve South Korea's request for low-enriched uranium from the U.S. for its nuclear submarines, which would require amendments to existing nuclear agreements.
