SEOUL,

South Korea will “move forward” with the United States in building nuclear-powered submarines, President Lee Jae Myung said Friday, after a long-awaited security and trade agreement was finalised.

“One of the greatest variables for our economy and security—the bilateral negotiations on trade, tariffs and security—has been finalised,” Lee told a news conference, adding the two countries had agreed to “move forward with building nuclear-powered submarines”.
