South Korea deems building nuclear submarine at home 'reasonable'
South Korea's defence minister believes building a nuclear-powered submarine domestically is sensible, citing over 30 years of technological advancement. This contrasts with US President Trump's earlier statement that the vessel would be built in America. Seoul aims to launch its own nuclear submarine by the late 2030s, contingent on US consultation for fuel.
