President Joe Biden and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol announced a key new agreement at the White House on Wednesday that aims to deter North Korean aggression, including a new US commitment to deploy a nuclear-armed submarine in South Korea for the first time since the early 1980s.

In a joint news conference at the White House Biden hailed what

he called the "ironclad" alliance between the two countries.

"The alliance formed in war and has flourished in peace," Biden said from the Rose Garden at the White House. "Our mutual defense treaty is iron clad and that includes our commitment to extend a deterrence -- and that includes the nuclear threat, the nuclear deterrent."

ironclad (adj.)

1852 of knights, 1861, of warships, American English, from iron (n.) + clad. Figuratively, of contracts, etc., "very rigid or strict, allowing no evasion or escape," from 1884. As a noun meaning "iron-clad ship," it is attested from 1862.

Entries linking to ironclad

clad (adj.)

"clothed," c. 1300, cledde, from cledde, alternative past tense and past participle of clothe. Old English had geclæþd, past participle of clæþan.

"They're particularly important in the face of DPRK's increased threats and the blatant violation of US sanctions," Biden added.

The product of monthslong discussions between officials from both countries, the new agreement will say that the US "(intends) to take steps to make our deterrence more visible through the regular deployment of strategic assets, including a US nuclear ballistic submarine visit to South Korea, which has not happened since the early 1980s," the official said. Officials made clear that such assets will not be stationed permanently, and there is "no plan" to deploy any tactical nuclear weapons to the Korean peninsula.

"The bottom line here is there's even closer cooperation, closer consultation and, and we're not going to be stationing nuclear weapons on the peninsula, but we will have visits to ports, visits of nuclear submarines and things like that," Biden said as he heralded the agreement, which he called a "prudent step" to reinforce extended deterrence.

The decision to strengthen extended deterrence -- a US policy that uses the full range of military capabilities to defend its allies and position additional American nuclear resources in the region amounts to an acknowledgment that attempts to deter North Korea from advancing its own nuclear program have stalled. Attempts at diplomacy with dictator Kim Jong Un have gone mostly unanswered as the North escalates its missile tests and potentially prepares for another nuclear test.

Warning to Kim
Biden offered a stark warning to Kim in the press conference.

"A nuclear attack by North Korea against the United States or its allies and partners is unacceptable, and will result in the end of whatever regime were to take such an action," Biden said.

It was direct notice to the North Korean dictator that the United States would defend its treaty ally to his south, and precisely the type of message Yoon arrived in Washington hoping to hear.

"Sustainable peace on the Korean Peninsula does not happen automatically," Yoon said, "Our two leaders have decided to significantly strengthen extended deterrence of our two countries against North Korea's nuclear and missile threats so that we can achieve peace through the superiority of overwhelming forces and not a false peace based on the goodwill of the other side."

Biden welcomed Yoon to the White House for the full pomp and circumstance and hospitality of an official state visit -- a high-stakes meeting amid ongoing provocations from North Korea, China's growing influence in the Indo-Pacific region and a recent leak of Pentagon documents.

As he welcomed Yoon, Biden called the alliance "the linchpin of regional security and prosperity" in the Indo-Pacific.

And more broadly, the visit signals the importance with which the US views its relationships with allies in the Indo-Pacific, this trip coming one week before Biden hosts Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos and weeks before Biden is expected to travel to the region himself.
