(Washington / Seoul Composite Electric) U.S. President Bynden denied that South Korean President Yin Xiyue said, indicating that the United States did not discuss a joint nuclear exercise with South Korea.
Bayeng Monday (January 2) responded to reporters in the White House asks whether the United States and South Korea were discussing the joint nuclear exercise and said, "No."
The United States will confirm that the United States and South Korea are discussing how to block the use of nuclear weapons
A spokesman for the National Security Council confirmed that the United States and South Korea are discussing how to prevent North Korea from using nuclear weapons to use nuclear weapons, but the discussion content does not include joint nuclear exercises.
A spokesman revealed that after the meeting in Cambodia in Cambodia last year, Bayndon and Yin Xiyue asked teams to plan how to coordinate a series of possible situations, including North Korea's use of nuclear weapons.Because South Korea is not a nuclear country, it will be extremely difficult to hold a joint nuclear exercise. The United States and South Korea do not conduct discussions in this area. Instead, the focus is on strengthening information sharing, joint planning, and conducting sand tables for a series of scenarios.
A spokesman also said that the timetable for the deduction of sand tables is unreasonable, but the goal of the two countries is to be held in the near future.
Yin Xiyue said in an exclusive interview published on Monday of the North Korean Daily that in order to respond to the threat of North Korea, South Korea is discussing with the United States to conduct joint plans and exercises with the US nuclear combat power, rather than being protected by the United States.
Kim Eunhui, chief secretary of the Presidential Office of the Presidential Office of Korea on Tuesday (3rd), reiterated that South Korea and the United States are discussing sharing of US nuclear forces intelligence, common planning, and corresponding execution plan to respond to the threat of the North Korean nuclear.
In response to Biden's statement, Jin Enhui said that the joint nuclear exercise is only applicable to the term between nuclear countries. This can be interpreted as South Korea's non -nuclear and should not be used.She pointed out that the media was disconnected to ask for only discussions with South Korea to discuss nuclear exercises, and Biden could only give a negative answer.
Former American Agent Assistant Secretary of State Thomas Countryman, who was responsible for weapon control, said that the United States has had a dialogue with South Korea on nuclear issues since 2016. It is not clear that Yin Xiyue's statement is new content, or it means that it meansWhat has happened.
Condriman also said that Yin Xiyue's remarks seemed to be a response to North Korea."I think this is the guarantee of President Yin Xiyue and President Biden to the South Korean government and the people. The commitment of the United States' defense of South Korea still has a firm effort."
North Korean leader Kim Jong -un said recently that South Korea has become a "undoubted enemy" and demanded a significant increase in the number of North Korean nuclear warheads.
Professor Jin Dongzhang of Qingnan University believes that Bayon's words show that considering the sensitivity and security issues of nuclear activities, the United States may not be willing to share this information with the Korean side."As the voices of tactical nuclear weapons are getting higher and higher, Washington may try to provide guarantees and send more nuclear assets when we need, but it is unlikely to fully realize the expansion and extension of Yin Xiyue."
