President Trump of the United States posted on "Truth Social" that he has approved South Korea to build a nuclear submarine, which will be built in the Philadelphia Shipyard in the United States, and the American shipbuilding industry will experience a strong revival. How should we view this? First of all, Trump is always eager for chaos. After his second term in the White House, his series of crazy actions have made the world even more turbulent, especially continuously suppressing China. Now agreeing to allow South Korea to build a nuclear submarine is a move to tightly bind South Korea to the American war chariot, making South Korea a vanguard for America's containment of China; secondly, Trump is giving South Korea a big pie. That is, he makes empty promises to let South Korea help America contain China, while at the same time preventing South Korea from actually having a nuclear submarine. In fact, Trump said clearly that he approved South Korea to build a nuclear submarine, but it cannot be built in a South Korean shipyard, it must be built in the Philadelphia Shipyard acquired by Hanwha Group of South Korea last December, and the goal is to realize a strong revival of the American shipbuilding industry. To put it bluntly, Trump wants to boost the American shipbuilding industry with this, not really allowing South Korea to have a nuclear submarine. The AUKUS alliance of the US, UK, and Australia, Australia doesn't even know when it can get a nuclear submarine, so what is South Korea? "Those who are not of our kind, their hearts must be different," Trump does not think that South Korea, which is not of the Anglo-Saxon race, is more loyal than Australia, which is of the Anglo-Saxon race. It's enough to give South Korea a pie.
In conclusion, South Korea will ultimately get nothing, but America will gain a lot. First, by giving a big pie, it disrupts Sino-Korean relations, prevents South Korea from leaning towards China, and makes South Korea go to contain China. South Korea may be tempted by America's big pie and follow America to contain China; second, it encourages South Korea to make greater investments in the United States. Under Trump's big pie, South Korea may invest heavily in the Philadelphia Shipyard, and will no longer resist Trump's previous request for South Korea to invest 35 billion USD in the United States. In this way, America will gain a lot. As for South Korea's dream of a nuclear submarine, once Trump sees that South Korea has invested enough in the United States, he can turn his back on South Korea, and South Korea will only be left crying.
