U.S.-South Korea alliance

The establishment of the NCG represents a timely and measured response to changing domestic situations in South Korea as well as the growing nuclear threat from North Korea.

The powerful sister of the North Korean leader released a statement denouncing the Washington Declaration and the new Nuclear Consultative Group.

In Yoon’s visit to Washington this week, South Korea and the United States reaffirmed their joint efforts to respond to North Korean nuclear threats.

The planned dock visits are a key element of the “Washington Declaration” issued during President Yoon’s U.S. visit in a bid to deter a North Korean attack.

When President Yoon visits this week, President Biden will announce specific new nuclear deterrence efforts as well as a new cybersecurity initiative.

Leaked documents suggesting the U.S. spied on South Korea’s internal discussions on Ukraine could sour President Yoon’s upcoming trip to Washington.

The next decade may present the U.S.-Korea alliance -- which soon marks 70 years -- with more profound changes than any prior decade. 

North Korea asserted that the extensive South Korea-U.S. joint military drills push the security situation on the Korean Peninsula to “the brink of a nuclear war.”

The trilateral exercise simulated a military response against a North Korean submarine attack.

There is good reason to think South Korea would limit its support to actions near the low end of the spectrum.

Beijing is throwing its weight behind Pyongyang’s claim that its missile tests are a necessary defensive response.
