Barack Obama’s Nuclear Policy: 
Based on the 2010 Nuclear Posture Review 
 
April 19, 2010

Since the election period, 
President Obama has 
emphasized continuously 
pushing forward the policy 
of non-proliferation and 
counter-terrorism through the so-called 
Obama-Biden plan, and his overall 
nuclear policy consists of three 
components: non-proliferation, disarmament 
and the peaceful use of nuclear energy. 
The initial materialization of his policy 
was achieved during his Prague speech 
delivered on April 5, 2009, and, starting 
with Russia’s signing of the New 
START, followed by Nuclear Security 
Summit on April 12-13, NPT Review 
Conference being held in May would 
continue this process of materializing 
President Obama’s nuclear policy.
Therefore, both the U.S. and 
South Korea need to come up with a 
concrete plan for extended deterrence. 
The U.S. clearly stated in the 2010 NPR 
its will to provide a credible extended 
deterrence posture and capabilities not 
only through the use of nuclear 
weapons but also through conventional 
military forces and missile defense 
system. However, South Korea is 
currently not included in the missile 
defense system, nor does it have a 
concrete idea of how to deter North 
Korea’s nuclear ambitions by using 
conventional military forces. Japan, on 
the other hand, is partially included in 
the missile defense system, and such 
situation leaves open the logical 
possibility that the U.S. troops stationed 
in Japan rather than those stationed in 
South Korea might be more effective in 
deterring North Korea. Thus, concrete measures need to be considered in the 
future, and, in this regard, the U.S. and 
South Korea might be required to 
engage in discussions on specific 
solutions to respond to such scenario.
