John McCain calls for review of deploying tactical nuclear weapons on Korean Peninsula

John McCain, Chairman of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee,... has suggested reviewing
whether the United States should re-deploy tactical nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula,...
in the wake of North Korea's repeated provocations.
Ro Aram reports.
In an interview broadcasted on CNN on Sunday,... McCain said Washington needs to seriously
review the re-deployment of tactical nuclear weapons on the peninsula,... just as Seoul's
defense chief suggested last week.
Defense Minister Song Young-moo told parliament a few days ago that Seoul should consider
tactical nuclear armament as a means to deter and react to North Korea's threats effectively.
Similar comments have also been made by South Korea's main opposition Liberty Korea Party.
Calls for South Korea to equip nukes have been growing, despite Cheong Wa Dae's view
that the Korean peninsula should be nuclear-free.
McCain also urged Washington to step up its presence around North Korea,... to make it
clear to its leader Kim Jong-un that the price of the regime's aggressive actions will be
extinction.
The Arizona Republican also said China was not doing enough to rein in its ally, adding
that the U.S. should use economic leverage to influence Beijing.
He acknowledged that losing trade with China would hurt the U.S., but suggested it was
a price Washington was willing to pay to get Beijing to step up its pressure on Pyongyang.
