U.S. President Trump, who is visiting South Korea, posted on social media on the 30th that he approved South Korea to build a nuclear submarine. It is said to be built in the United States.
Trump also said that South Korea agreed to purchase a large amount of U.S. oil and natural gas.
Trump held a summit with South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol on the 29th and finalized the details of the trade agreement.
At the meeting, Yoon Suk-yeol requested Trump to allow South Korea to provide fuel for the nuclear submarine, so that North Korean and Chinese ships could be tracked for a longer period of time.
According to the bilateral agreement, South Korea is prohibited from reprocessing nuclear fuel without U.S. approval.
Trump said on his own social media "Truth Social" that "I approved them to build a nuclear submarine, rather than the older, not to mention less maneuverable diesel-powered submarines they currently have."
It is said that this nuclear submarine is built in Philadelphia.
