US designated South Korea a 'sensitive' country amid nuclear concerns

By Timothy Gardner, David Brunnstrom and Ju-min Park WASHINGTON/SEOUL (Reuters) -The U.S. Department of Energy has designated ally South Korea a "sensitive" country, a spokesperson said on Friday, after the South Korean president briefly imposed martial law and amid talk of Seoul potentially developing nuclear weapons.
The U.S. has designated South Korea as a "sensitive country" due to concerns over its nuclear activities, particularly in light of North Korea's ongoing nuclear threats. This designation, which was part of a confidential memo from the U.S. Department of Energy, implies stricter oversight and control over nuclear technology transfers to South Korea. The move comes amidst discussions about South Korea potentially developing its own nuclear weapons in response to North Korea's provocations, although South Korea has publicly committed to remaining non-nuclear under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The U.S. aims to ensure that its allies, like South Korea, do not proliferate nuclear technology, thereby maintaining global non-proliferation norms while addressing regional security dynamics.
