Washington: South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said Wednesday at the White House that peace with North Korea would come through strength and vowed that any response to a nuclear attack would include US atomic weapons.

Yoon told a joint news conference that he and US President Joe Biden agreed that "we can achieve peace through the superiority of overwhelming force and not a false peace based on the goodwill of the other side."
