1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: South Korean President Yun sukyol says his government wants the

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: US to take on a greater role in managing nuclear

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: weapons on the on the peninsula. Now this is a

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: big ask. Let's dig in a bit deeper, joining us

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: live as Sang me Chaw and Soul Bloomberg Chaw. Thanks

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: so much saying me so. President Un said his government

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: is in talks with the US. Is that what he said?

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: That's right? Thanks for having me. Yes, so, the South

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: Korean president unsayre, in an interview with a local newspaper,

10
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: said that he's government is indeed in talks with the

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: US on taking on a more active role in managing

12
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: the nuclear weapons on the Crean Peninsula. If this does happen,

13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: that with market significant shift in the policy that's been

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: going on for decades and in on the Korean peninsula,

15
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: like to to turn North Korea. So what you asked

16
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: was basically that while the nuclear weapons actually belonged to

17
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: the US, the information sharing, planning and training or X

18
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: size should be done jointly. And he said clearly in

19
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: the interview that the U s stands on the matter

20
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: was quite positive. But um, immediately after we have had

21
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: a reporter asked Biden whether UM the two Washington and

22
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: Soul were discussing joint nuclear exercises, and Biden's response was that, uh,

23
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: they're not, I mean currently discussing that. And after that,

24
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: we have actually seen the South Korean Presidential Office uh

25
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: refuting to that UM comments from from Biden and saying

26
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: that UM the terminology that the reporter asked, the joint

27
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: nuclear exercises as a term that can be used between

28
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: nuclear powers. So it's just a wrong question. And we

29
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: have the latest update from UM the White House and

30
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: it is just happening right now. So we are still

31
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: UM trying to see exact wordings on that, but it

32
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: seems like the US has just released some statements on

33
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: the reviewing of such UM such discussion. You know, you know,

34
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 1: sometimes what happens, and we have to be and and

35
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: I've said earlier, have to be really really careful because

36
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: this this is these are these are pool reporters and uh,

37
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: and it's it's it's a lot like a scrum and

38
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: a rugby, and questions are shouted out and the president

39
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: shouts and answer, and these kinds of things diplomatically are

40
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: very very meticulously planned and and channeled. So UM, Yeah,

41
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: we hope we get some clarification because the messages need

42
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: to be brought together here. These are close allies, that's correct.

43
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: And UM, Well, to go back to the idea. The

44
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: concept of this UM UH intel sharing a little bit

45
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: is that on the Korean peninsula, we happened relying on

46
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: the US nuclear umbrella or the term extended to terrence UM.

47
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: But now President Un is saying that this is no

48
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: longer reassuring for the Korean public. UM, since these two

49
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: concepts were created pretty much before and we're like after

50
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: the war. And so now the North Korea has developed

51
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: nuclear weapons UM and a range of missiles and even

52
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: the intercontinental LISTOM missiles that can carry these warheads UM,

53
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: even to the American soil. It's just UM no longer

54
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: a viable concept, That's what he's trying to say. And UM,

55
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: we should be reminded that UM last year indeed was

56
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: quite intense ear on the on the Korean peninsula. Uh,

57
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: since North Korea fired off more than some degalusted missiles

58
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: in defiance of the U N resolutions and it's actually

59
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: preparing for another nuclear test. Yeah and UH and uh

60
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: A usual I'm sorry Kim Jong un coming out of

61
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: the meetings. The part already meeting said that they would

62
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: be furthering the nuclear program in the coming year. So yeah,

63
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: a lot of moving parts. Thank you. We'll wait, we'll

64
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: wait for the exact wording on that to update, because boy,

65
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: they're scrambling to get it. You're terrific. Thank you so much.
