Biden, Yoon warn North Korea of nuclear response to any attack
US President Joe Biden and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol have issued a warning to North Korea that it will face a nuclear response and the “end” of its leadership if it uses its own nuclear arsenal.
The two leaders spoke at the White House and emphasized that the US security shield for South Korea was being strengthened in response to North Korea’s aggressive missile tests.
The Washington Declaration was issued, which strengthens the US nuclear umbrella over South Korea, with the two countries sharing information and consulting in the event of a North Korean attack.
