On 11 July 2024, the US and South Korea adopted a joint guideline “on establishing an integrated system of extended deterrence for the Korean peninsula to counter nuclear and military threats from North Korea.” The guideline formalizes the deployment of US nuclear assets “on and around the Korean peninsula to deter and respond to potential nuclear attacks by the North [Korea].” The new format means American nuclear weapons “are specifically being assigned to missions on the Korean Peninsula.”
