Smart move. If Korean firms are pouring money into American shipbuilding anyway, why not channel that into a U.S.-built nuclear sub, which Korea has wanted for decades? It’s a reasonable deal both sides, and I’m glad that Lee brought it up. Most people, even experts, didn’t even expect this to be on the agenda.
Seems like a long way home from there.
It keeps the experts happy about OPSEC. It helps with the American trade deal. It strengthens shipbuilding in America and makes Washington happy. Korea gets knowhow and nuclear subs. In the future, it would be nice building nuclear submarines in Korea but small steps.
Has Trump ever…seen Philly Navy Yard? It’s a fine place, don’t get me wrong. But do they have the facilities or even the potential thereof to build *nuclear submarines*? There are only 4 dry docks at the moment *total* and no room for “sheds” to hide the sub during construction (as they have at Electric Boat Shipyard and Newport News where they construct them in the U.S.). They’d need to turn the whole place upside down for this to work.
Philly Navy Yard is working well under Hanwha, currently constructing huge training ships for maritime academies. But can they build nuke subs? If anyone has any information to the contrary of what I’m saying please let me know, I’m mainly operating on what I’ve seen when I’ve been there.
I keep reading about how the negotiations went down since yesterday and
What the fuck
How does this trade even compute, I’m not even sure what US even gets from this. Freakin snowflakes triggered over trade deficit suddenly gives away everything (except for 15% tariff maybe) and gets away with boogeyman items that would be nothing but a cheap show for “Made in America” pandering
This feels like literally cheating
