美상원 군사위원장 "한반도 전술핵 재배치 심각하게 검토해야"
The head of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee suggested a review of deploying tactical nuclear weapons to the peninsula.
Kim Hyun-bin has an analysis of the option that's also being debated by lawmakers and ordinary citizens here in South Korea in the wake of Pyongyang's growing nuclear and missile threats.
In an interview broadcast on CNN on Sunday,... Senator McCain said Washington needs to seriously review the re-deployment of tactical nuclear weapons on the peninsula,... just as Seoul's defense chief suggested last week.
Defense Minister Song Young-moo told the South Korean parliament a few days ago that Seoul should consider tactical nuclear armament as a means to deter and react to North Korea's threats effectively.
Calls for South Korea to equip itself with nukes have been growing, despite Cheong Wa Dae's view that the Korean peninsula should be nuclear-free.
McCain also urged Washington to step up its presence around North Korea,... to make it clear to the regime's leader, Kim Jong-un, that the price of the regime's aggressive actions will be extinction.
The Arizona Republican also said China was not doing enough to rein in its ally, adding that the U.S. should use its economic leverage to influence Beijing.
He acknowledged that losing trade with China would hurt the U.S., but suggested it was a price Washington is willing to pay to get Beijing to step up its pressure on Pyongyang.
China's state-run Global Times reported on Sunday that the latest nuclear test by North Korea has allowed Japan and South Korea to increase their purchases of sophisticated military equipment from Washington.
Many Chinese military experts are claiming that an arms race is inevitable , with U.S. using the nuclear test as an excuse to strengthen its military presence and increase arms sales to its allies, adding that China will have no choice but to reciprocate.
