SUWON, South Korea, Oct. 3 (Yonhap) -- A South Korean governor who is believed to be a potential presidential candidate for the ruling party has said the country should prepare for nuclear armament in the face of North Korea's growing nuclear threats.
Gov. Nam Kyung-pil of Gyeonggi Province made the remarks in an interview with Yonhap News Agency Sunday, citing concerns the United States may withdraw its nuclear umbrella from over South Korea.
"It's time for us to consider various options, and one of them is to prepare for nuclear armament," he said. "Preparations for nuclear armament should begin with the next government, or, in fact, now."
