"We are working extraordinarily and intensively with the South Koreans to take the necessary steps to buttress both public perception and the reality of our commitments," the official told Reuters ahead of Yoon's summit with Biden next Wednesday. "We have been very clear that our commitment to that nuclear deterrent stands is ironclad for South Korea," said the official, who did not want to be identified by name.
Yoon's week-long state visit next week to the United States comes at a time when more South Koreans say their country should develop its own nuclear arsenal to guard against attack by nuclear-armed North Korea and its expanding arsenal of missiles and bombs.
