The United States dispatched a second nuclear submarine to South Korea, but Kim Jong officials are refusing to speak; North Korea will return the freed soldier.
On Monday, an additional nuclear submarine was dispatched by America to South Korea. She is known as USS Annapolis. This is the second nuclear submarine that America has sent to South Korea. For the first time since 1983, the US dispatched a submarine dubbed USS Kentucky to South Korea last week. North Korea had already forewarned South Korea of a nuclear attack. In addition, several missiles were launched.
North Korea had said that due to these actions of America, the risk of nuclear war in Korea is increasing. The Annapolis nuclear submarine is currently docked at Jeju Island. The main mission of Annapolis is to destroy enemy ships and submarines. At the same time, America has said that it is in talks with Kim Jong Un's government to bring back its soldier who fled to North Korea.
Regarding the American soldier who fled to North Korea, Kim Jong Un is mute.
According to US government representatives, Travis King, a soldier, is in danger after he went to North Korea. He claimed that despite our efforts to contact North Korea, they are not responding.
According to specialists cited by the AP, there is a good chance that North Korea won't communicate with the US for a few weeks or months. He also won't divulge any information regarding the detained American soldier. Analysts predict that North Korea may want America to cut back on its aid to South Korea in exchange for Travis King.
This is a major problem for the army, according to retired general Robert Abrams, a commander in the US Army. Although I am relieved that the North Korean troops did not shoot Travis on sight, he continued, "I am worried about Travis." Travis must be aware of the unjust and unlawful treatment of foreigners by North Korea.
Americans who previously escaped across the border into North Korea
The US and North Korea, who waged a war against one another from 1950 to 1953, do not get along well. North Korea is subject to numerous restrictions from the US. An American soldier entering North Korea over the border is a significant event in this scenario. Nevertheless, an American has before fled to North Korea.
Sergeant Charles Robert Jenkins, an American, escaped to North Korea in 1965 in order to avoid fighting in the Vietnam War. After 39 years, he was finally given permission to leave North Korea after this. He revealed that he had taught English to North Korean soldiers after his return to Japan.
Missionary from Los Angeles Robert Park crossed the border into North Korea on Christmas Day in 2009. He was shouting, "Jesus Loves North Korea," while holding the Bible in his hand. Robert Park was imprisoned by North Korea for 43 days before being expelled.
In 2013, Merrill Edward Newman, a student at the University of Virginia, visited North Korea. where his theft of the poster resulted in a 15-year prison term. He spent 17 months in jail, but in 2017 he was freed. He passed away a few days after arriving in America.
