Can Trump Still Deal With Kim Jong Un After Strikes on Iran?
North Korea conducted its fourth missile test in April, overseen by Kim Jong Un and his daughter Kim Ju Ae, amid a shifting strategic landscape since Trump's presidency began in 2017. The test raises questions about the viability of renewed denuclearization talks between the US and North Korea.
North Korea conducted its fourth missile test on April 19, with state media stating the launch involved cluster-bomb warheads. The test was overseen by Kim Jong Un and his daughter Kim Ju Ae. US President Donald Trump is expected to visit Beijing in May and has indicated interest in renewed contact with Kim. Since Trump entered the White House in 2017, Pyongyang has signed a strategic partnership with Moscow, effectively forming a military alliance. Kim Jong Un stated that the Iran conflict justified North Korea's decision to maintain its nuclear arsenal. Washington, Seoul, and Tokyo need to rethink their approach to North Korea, focusing on engagement rather than pressure to reduce tensions.
