Trump-Kim deal could leave South Korea facing nuclear threat

Original: A Trump-Kim deal could leave South Korea bearing the nuclear threat

A potential agreement between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un on North Korea's nuclear programme could leave South Korea still exposed to Pyongyang's nuclear threat, according to Korea JoongAng Daily. The concern is that a US-North Korea deal focused on missiles capable of reaching the United States might leave shorter-range weapons threatening South Korea intact, prompting debate in Seoul over its security and possible independent deterrent options.

Why now: Ongoing speculation about renewed US-North Korea diplomacy raises fears in South Korea about being sidelined in a deal that does not address its security.
