President Trump Announces Approval of South Korea to Build Nuclear Powered Submarines
I really do not see a defense need of why the ROK needs a nuclear powered submarines unless the goal is create a future export market for them:
The presidential office on Thursday welcomed U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to approve South Korea’s bid to build a nuclear-powered submarine, vowing to closely cooperate with the U.S. throughout the process.
Trump wrote on social media on Thursday that he had given South Korea approval to build a nuclear-powered submarine, adding it will be built at shipyards in Philadelphia.
The approval came a day after President Lee Jae Myung asked Trump to allow South Korea to have nuclear fuel to build nuclear-powered submarines during their summit held in the southeastern city of Gyeongju.

I can see that @GIKorea is not a happy camper.
This latest achievement shows that Pres. Lee is a better diplomat and deal maker compared to the Buffoon Yoon, which @GIKorea actively supported.
Not to mention, Lee’s doing a way better job as President.
“…adding it will be built at shipyards in Philadelphia.”
So Korea is buying a submarine from America?
