Zitat:South Korea’s Next Defense Minister Expresses Reservations On CVX Programhttps://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/202...x-program/
Lee Jong-seop, a member of the Presidential Transition Committee's foreign and security policy team and the incoming President Yoon Suk-yeol's nominee for the Minister of National Defense, expressed reservations about the South Korean aircraft carrier or CVX program on April 25 when asked by National Defense Committee member Kang Daesik. [...]
“There are diverse opinions on the CVX program. I think we need to carefully evaluate our priorities by taking into account several factors including strategic and tactical operational doctrines, military requirements, national interest, and cost efficiency,” (Lee Jong-seop, Incoming Minister of National Defense) [...]
The CVX program has been a subject of great controversy over the past few months. Funding for the program was axed last November, only to be revived unilaterally by the ruling party the month after. The incoming President is a member of the People Power Party, the program’s harshest critic in the National Assembly. Therefore, the CVX program will likely face more hurdles in the coming years.
