South Korea, US revise deterrence agreement to counter North Korea

US and South Korean defense chiefs have updated a key military agreement against nuclear-armed North Korea for the first time in a decade as they hailed their 'stronger than ever' alliance. US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin is in Seoul for an annual security meeting with his South Korean counterpart Shin Won-sik, as the allies ramp up their defense cooperation in the face of growing missile and nuclear threats from Pyongyang.

00:03 For seven decades, this alliance has been an anchor
00:19 of peace and security on the Korean Peninsula
00:22 and across the broader Indo-Pacific.
00:25 We're about to conclude a historic year
00:28 for the United States and for the Republic of Korea.
00:32 And I'm proud to say that our alliance
00:34 is stronger than ever.
00:37 And our deterrence commitment to the ROK remains ironclad.
00:42 That includes a full range of our nuclear,
00:45 conventional, and missile defense capabilities.
00:49 And today, during the security consultative meeting,
00:53 Minister Shin and I discussed shared opportunities
