Bipartisan Senate bill reaffirms US nuclear pledge to South Korea

Original: Bipartisan US Senate bill reaffirms 'ironclad' nuclear deterrence pledge to S. Korea

A bipartisan bill in the US Senate reaffirms Washington's 'ironclad' commitment to extended nuclear deterrence for South Korea, according to The Korea Times. The legislation underscores continued American security guarantees to Seoul amid ongoing concerns over North Korea's missile and nuclear programmes and debate in South Korea over whether it should pursue its own nuclear weapons.

Why now: Growing anxiety over North Korea's nuclear programme and debate in South Korea about independent nuclear armament keep US security commitments in focus.
