The U.S. and South Korea pulled out all the stops for Yoon Suk-yeol’s state visit to Washington last week, celebrating 70 years of the alliance with pageantry, economic agreements and security pledges. The two sides’ Washington Declaration notably laid out plans to establish a Nuclear Consultative Group (NCG) for joint planning on the use of U.S. nuclear assets.

But while the allies strove to project unity against North Korean threats, observers have argued that the Yoon administration has overstated parts of the summit result over the past week, particularly as it relates to the agreements on U.S. nuclear weapons.
