Building nuclear submarine at home is ‘reasonable’
Bangkok Post
|November 07, 2025
SEOUL: South Korea's defence minister thinks building a nuclear-powered submarine at home would be “reasonable’, the department told AFP yesterday, a week after US President Donald Trump said it would be made in the United States.
-
Mr Trump had announced that South Korea would build the submarine ina Philadelphia shipyard “right here in the good ol’ U.S.A“; where the nuclear technology is among the most sensitive and tightly guarded military secrets.
It comes after Seoul announced the two countries had reached a broad deal covering investment and shipbuilding following Mr Trump’s meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung.
Critics argue that, given Mr Trump's remarks, Washington may push Seoul to invest in the Philadelphia shipyard in exchange for US support to build the vessel.
