South Korea would accept a Trump-Kim deal to freeze nuclear programme, president tells BBC

1. Submission: South Korea’s president, Lee Jae-Myung, is signalling willingness to accept a deal between Trump and Kim Jong Un that would freeze North Korea’s nuclear weapons production, though not demand dismantlement, as an emergency step. According to reports, North Korea produces an estimated 15-20 new warheads per year, and halting that could significantly slow its buildup. This statement marks a shift from more maximalist positions toward a more incremental and potentially pragmatic approach. Could this open a window for renewed diplomacy, or will it merely embolden Pyongyang to hold its ground?
