Two weeks after the meeting between American President Donald Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, no official agreement has been published, although progress has been announced in negotiations regarding tariffs and security issues. The delay focuses on South Korea's request for approval to build a nuclear-powered submarine, a subject discussed by Lee during the meeting.
Although Washington has approved the use of nuclear fuel, finalizing the fact sheet requires time due to feedback from American departments. Lee advocates for building the submarine in South Korea, in contradiction to Trump's statements that it will be built at an American shipyard.
Trade negotiations are ongoing, but disagreements over the structure of the investment fund have hindered the issuance of joint statements. A memorandum of understanding for a $350 billion investment package is prepared, but has not been signed, and details about the signing remain unclear.
