U.S. Sharing Nuclear Submarine Tech with South Korea

President Donald Trump said the United States will share guarded technology to help South Korea build a nuclear-powered submarine, following talks with President Lee Jae Myung. Lee pushed to modernize the alliance and plans to increase defense spending, clarifying Seoul seeks nuclear fuel, not weapons, and saying nuclear boats would better support U.S. operations. Trump said the submarine would be built at Philly Shipyard, owned by South Korea’s Hanwha Group; size and cost remain unclear, though Seoul has committed $150 billion to U.S. shipbuilding capacity. The announcement comes before Trump’s meeting with Xi as North Korea touts missile tests.
