South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol's plan to build the country's first nuclear submarine has drawn attention.

【Key Focus: The Plan to Build South Korea's First Nuclear Submarine Was Proposed by Lee Jae-myung】

On the morning of October 30, 2025, Seoul time, Trump posted that "the United States will share relevant technology to allow South Korea to build a nuclear-powered submarine in the United States." This news immediately sparked heated discussions.

Notably, this plan was proposed by South Korean President Lee Jae-myung, who has always boasted about "promoting peace on the Korean Peninsula."

Yesterday, Lee Jae-myung said during his meeting with Trump:

If South Korea has a nuclear-powered submarine, it can help the U.S. in its activities in the region. The goal is to modernize the alliance with the U.S. If this plan receives U.S. support, South Korea will increase defense spending to alleviate the U.S. financial burden.
