Abstract

The article examines the challenges facing former President Trump as he considers re-engaging with North Korea during a potential second term. It reflects on Trump's previous diplomatic efforts with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, which ultimately failed to produce a comprehensive agreement due to irreconcilable positions on nuclear disarmament. The geopolitical landscape has shifted since their last interactions, with North Korea now enjoying stronger support from China and Russia, complicating any future negotiations. The article outlines three potential strategies for Trump: abandoning the nuclear issue, maintaining the status quo with increased sanctions, or pivoting towards arms control, each with its own implications for U.S. foreign policy and regional stability.
