前美驻韩代理大使 Joseph Yun:华盛顿对韩国建核潜艇并无共识,特朗普的批准一年后仍未推进

曾任美国驻韩国代理大使与朝鲜问题特使的 Joseph Yun,11月10日在韩美议员联盟主办的论坛上以视频方式发言时表示,华盛顿对于韩国应否拥有铀浓缩能力与核潜艇「并无共识」,他难以想象相关事项会快速推进。韩国媒体称,特朗普总统去年批准韩国建造核潜艇已过去一年,后续谈判停滞不前。
背景是2025年10月29日特朗普与韩国总统李在明在庆州会晤。李在明在会上请求美方允许为核动力潜艇供应与后处理核燃料,特朗普次日在社交平台发文称,已批准韩国建造核动力潜艇,取代其现有的老式柴油潜艇,并称潜艇将在韩华集团拥有的费城造船厂建造。美韩随后发表的贸易与安全联合情况说明也写入了浓缩与潜艇合作内容。
但此后进展有限:首尔方面更希望在本国建造,燃料转让需要修订或另签美韩核能协定并获得国会支持;2026年1月,四名民主党参议员曾致信特朗普,警告此举可能损害核不扩散政策。韩国总统府此前表示,去年的安全协议将得到履行。
Joseph Yun 是前职业外交官,其发言是个人判断,并非美国政府的正式立场变更。腾讯等中文媒体以「美方有人不认账」概括他的表态,这一说法把前任官员的预测说成了官方反悔,与其原话不符,本稿按原话呈现。

Former US Envoy Joseph Yun: No Washington Consensus on South Korean Nuclear Submarines a Year After Trump's Approval
Joseph Yun, a former acting U.S. ambassador to South Korea and former special representative for North Korea, told a forum hosted by the Korea-U.S. Parliamentarians' Union on November 10, speaking by video, that there is "no consensus in Washington that Korea ought to have enrichment or nuclear submarines", and that he could not imagine the matter moving very rapidly. Korean media note that a year has passed since President Trump approved South Korean nuclear submarines, with follow-up talks stalled.
The background is the October 29, 2025 summit between Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung in Gyeongju. Lee asked Trump to allow the supply and reprocessing of nuclear fuel for nuclear-propelled submarines. Trump posted the next morning that he had given approval to build a nuclear-powered submarine instead of the older diesel boats, and said it would be built at the Hanwha-owned Philadelphia Shipyards. A joint U.S.-Korea fact sheet on trade and security that followed also included enrichment and submarine cooperation.
Progress since has been limited: Seoul prefers to build the boats in South Korea, fuel transfer would require a revised or separate U.S.-Korea nuclear agreement and congressional backing, and in January 2026 four Democratic senators wrote to Trump warning the move could undermine non-proliferation policy. South Korea's presidential office has said last year's security agreement would be honoured.
Yun is a former career diplomat and his remarks are a personal assessment, not a formal change of U.S. government position. Some Chinese-language coverage framed his comments as Washington walking back the deal; that overstates what he said, and this report follows his actual wording.
