Trump’s Missing North Korea Strategy
By arbitrarily re-designating North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism, US President Donald Trump has demonstrated yet again that he has no policy or strategy for resolving the current nuclear crisis. When former President George W. Bush removed North Korea from the terrorism list in 2008, he at least got something out of it.
DENVER – US President Donald Trump certainly has a point when he complains that he inherited the difficult problem in North Korea. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has shown no interest in negotiation, or even in listening to what anyone has to say about his reckless pursuit of nuclear weapons and the long-range missiles needed to deliver them.
