SEOUL, June 15 -- As state media in North Korea continued to warn of possible nuclear war, South Korean President Lee Myung-bak flew to Washington for talks with President Obama at which Lee is expected to seek a written promise of continued U.S. nuclear protection.
The United States has maintained a nuclear umbrella over South Korea since the Korean War and it periodically reaffirms that protection, although not at the level of a White House statement.
When Lee meets with Obama on Tuesday, North Korea will be at the top of the agenda and Lee will try to secure a written commitment that the United States will provide extended nuclear deterrence, unnamed officials in the presidential office here have told the South Korean press.
