South Korean President Yoon to discuss nuclear protection with Biden during White House visit.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is set to meet with President Joe Biden in the United States to discuss the alliance between the two countries, which has guaranteed South Korea's security for decades. However, as North Korea continues to develop nuclear weapons and missiles, there are growing doubts in South Korea about relying on the American nuclear umbrella. A recent poll showed that more than 64% of respondents supported South Korea developing its own nuclear weapons. Yoon has been pushing to boost South Korea's say in operating the U.S. extended deterrence, but exactly what that might entail has not been spelt out.
