United States and South Korea Stand Firm Against North Korea's Nuclear Weapons

US and South Korea's Joint Statement

The United States and South Korea would end the North Korean regime if it used nuclear weapons against either of them, a joint statement by the allies said on Wednesday.

Understanding the Extended Deterrence Strategy

The doubling down on their united stance came from The Extended Deterrence Strategy and Consultation Group between the U.S. and South Korea at its fifth meeting in Washington, DC.

• Nuclear Weapons Threat
• North Korea continues its nuclear ambitions
• Impact on Russia and the Russia-Ukraine war
• Concerns about China's Influence

This statement represents a critical pivot in how the allied nations perceive the potential devastating impacts of a nuclear-armed North Korea.
