Trump and North Korea

In the next four years, North Korea will likely develop the ability to hit the continental United States with a nuclear missile. How can Washington stop it? Pre-emptive military strikes would end in deadly failure. Sanctions have proved a fool’s errand. Only striking a grand bargain with Pyongyang—economic development in exchange for a nuclear freeze—might work.

"Trump and North Korea" is from the March/April 2017 issue of Foreign Affairs.
