Yoon and Biden’s Nuclear Deal in Jeopardy After Trump Attack?

Daniel Kim Views  

The recent shooting of former president Donald Trump prompted the South Korean government to monitor the situation closely. This incident occurred just two days after South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol formalized a nuclear-based alliance with President Joe Biden.

Yoon strengthened military and economic security with major countries, including the U.S., during his visit to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit held in Washington, D.C. He returned to South Korea on Friday.

In particular, Biden and Yoon issued a joint statement announcing the signing of the Guidelines for Nuclear Deterrence and Nuclear Operations on the Korean Peninsula. This is the first time that U.S. nuclear assets will be utilized in the South Korean mission to counteract North Korea’s nuclear threats regardless of wartime or peacetime.

Last year, the two leaders adopted the Washington Declaration and agreed to establish the NCG (Nuclear Consultative Group). The NCG was established to strengthen extended deterrence, discuss nuclear and strategic planning, and manage North Korean threats to the non-proliferation regime.

Such diplomatic security sends a clear warning to North Korea, China, Russia, and other nations while ruling out domestic nuclear armament. However, Trump has been leading the presidential race against Biden, who has faced health rumors. This situation necessitates preparing for the risk of Trump being elected. Some media outlets have speculated that Trump’s chances of winning are as high as 70%.

Trump opposes Biden’s on issues including North Korea, military, and economic security policies. Trump will likely demand increased defense cost-sharing for U.S. forces stationed in South Korea and potentially leverage this agreement. He could negotiate directly with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, as he had done during the Moon Jae-in administration. Trump has also expressed his intention to halt support for Ukraine, which is going through war with Russia.
