This time,
we'll connect with our Washington correspondent to find out the U.S. reaction to President Yoon Seok-yeol's state visit.

Special Correspondent Nam Seung-mo, what do you notice in the United States about the outcome of this summit?

<Reporter>

Yes, the biggest interest is the "Washington Declaration" released before the summit.

Local media are assessing that the US nuclear umbrella is a further step forward and predicting that the declaration alone will not be enough to calm public opinion in South Korea about its own nuclear armament.

CNN explained the reason behind the declaration, saying that the United States was very keen to avoid tactical nuclear redeployment or its own nuclear-armed scenario in South Korea.

The New York Times also interpreted the emphasis on extended deterrence as an indication that the 30-year effort to deter North Korea's nuclear program had ultimately failed.

You're also very interested in
whether Ukraine will support weapons, right?

<Reporter>

Yes, Foreign Policy, a diplomatic magazine, noted that President Yoon Seok-yeol mentioned the possibility of providing weapons to Ukraine ahead of the summit.

He said South Korea's move to change its policy stance on not supporting lethal weapons is welcome by the U.S. government, and an effort by South Korea to take a more active role among U.S. allies in the face of threats from North Korea and China.

I'm also very interested in the leak of classified
U.S. documents, what is the reaction in the U.S.?

<Reporter>

Yes, the U.S. media also reported that the U.S. government was embarrassed by the controversy over the leak of classified documents that broke out just before the state visit.

However, I did not expect President Yun to raise this issue publicly during the summit.

The two leaders may discuss privately, but as South Korea knows what intelligence activities are about, the issue is unlikely to be highlighted as much.
