The state visit took a funny turn when the President of South Korea, Yoon Suk-yeol, got excited to sing at the instigation of the President of the United States, Joe Biden.
After laughing for a while, Suk-yeol got serious and grabbed the mic. The opening notes of the iconic *American Pie* echoed through the air with an interpretation that a professional politician certainly doesn’t need to be ashamed of. The audience burst into wild applause.
A new nuclear weapons agreement was born during the state visit
Earlier in the day, during the state visit, the presidents had discussed, among other things, North Korea, trade relations and the war in Ukraine.
The countries also agreed on a new nuclear weapons treaty. The United States promised to send its nuclear-armed submarines to South Korea and to involve South Korea in nuclear weapons planning.
South Korea, on the other hand, commits not to develop its own nuclear weapons.
