NK News | Ahn Cheol-soo at Seoul Foreign Correspondents' Club (Jan. 28, 2022)
Presidential hopeful Ahn Cheol-soo pledged to pursue a “nuclear weapons sharing” deal with the U.S. on Friday, although he said that this does not mean physically redeploying nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula.
The comments come as a series of North Korean cruise and ballistic missile tests have generated heated debate between top presidential candidates about how to deter such threats.
