Nuclear submarine plan hits snag as Seoul questions US shipyard capability

Trump posted the comment on social media after South Korea's President Lee Jae Myung asked him during a summit to let his country, an ally of the US, have fuel for nuclear-powered submarines equipped with conventional weapons.

"At the moment, as far as I know, it (the Philly Shipyard) does not have the capability," Kim said when asked by a lawmaker about the potential to build a nuclear submarine there.
