South Korea's Defense Minister believes developing nuclear weapons could create a 'a huge crack' in the country's relationship with the U.S.
One of South Korea's top officials has warned that the country developing its own nuclear weapons could spell catastrophe, and called for 'peaceful' means of deterring North Korea's threats of nuclear escalation.His comments come amid growing domestic calls for nuclear weapons to respond to the heightening concern over Pyongyang's intentions.
According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute in June, Pyongyang has enough material—plutonium and enriched uranium—to produce up to 90 nuclear warheads.Shin himself has previously warned that North Korea's development of a nuclear weapon 'is believed to be in the final stages.'In response to these warnings, and provocations by Pyongyang, officials within South Korea have called for the country to develop its own nuclear arsenal.
