South Korea's deputy national security director says U.S. nuclear umbrella could be weakened if reelected.

Trump 's reelection is not likely to affect the umbrella, a former White House official says.

A South Korean poll shows 66% of respondents support South Korea having its own nuclear weapons.

In 1991 , the U.S. withdrew from South Korea all its nuclear weapons, roughly 100 in number, according to some studies.

In April 2023 , Biden and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol adopted the Washington Declaration .

Biden administration reiterated commitment to defend South Korea with nuclear weapons if necessary.
