""South Korea will be building its Nuclear Powered Submarine in the Philadelphia Shipyards," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform."
"South Korean Defense Minister Ahn Gyu-back told a parliamentary meeting on the same day that a nuclear-powered submarine would have "huge" military significance."
""Trump never seems to get tired of saying he has had enough of his parasitic allies, which means South Korea and Japan, and he could at any time announce that the US was going to pack up and leave.""
President Donald Trump publicly endorsed South Korea building and operating nuclear-powered submarines and said the first vessel will be made in the United States. South Korean Defense Minister Ahn Gyu-back described a nuclear-powered submarine as having "huge" military significance. South Korea currently operates diesel-electric submarines, while nuclear-powered vessels would provide greater speed and endurance to counter North Korea. Analysts expect North Korea to respond angrily and announce countermeasures. Observers warn that Northeast Asia is entering an arms race and that growing fear exists about US security commitments in the region.
