Amid tensions in the korea Peninsolar and with the latest detention of a US soldier who willyfully crossed into the border with North korea and was immediately detained, matters has become intense after  US nuclear capable Submarine reached the shores of South Korea.

“Our mutual defense treaty is iron clad and that includes our commitment to extend a deterrence – and that includes the nuclear threat, the nuclear deterrent,” Biden said at the time.

Upon meeting Joe Biden in Washinton on April,South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was perhaps given much assurance that he will be protected from constant threat from their nighbours.

n a joint statement on Tuesday the two allies said the NCG would enhance “combined deterrence and response posture.”

“As a result, the collective strength of our two nations will directly contribute to the continued peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and across the Indo-Pacific region,” the statement read.

“This inaugural NCG meeting afforded the United States an opportunity to reaffirm and strengthen the US commitment to provide extended deterrence to the ROK backed by the full range of US capabilities, including nuclear,” it added.

Kim Jo Jong who is the sister of North korea’s leader said that the stationing of the submarine will already make things worse and that a chance for a peacefully negotiation may go haywire.

“The reality before the DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) is not dialogue repeatedly touted by the US,” said Kim. Instead, she said, the NCG was “openly discussing the use of nukes against the DPRK and the entry of US strategic nuclear submarine into waters of the Korean Peninsula for the first time in 40-odd years.”

“The US should know that its bolstered extended deterrence system and excessively extended military alliance system, a threatening entity, will only make the DPRK go farther away from the negotiating table desired by it,” the statement added.
