The United States needs to stop expecting North Korea will just 'surrender,' said Harry Kazianis, senior director at D.C.-based think tank, Center for National Interest. The more achievable goal is to mitigate tensions with Pyongyang using economic solutions and collaboration with China he suggested.
Kazianis said that the ICBM that Pyongyang tested in November 2017 already had a 10,000 km range, enough to threaten the continental U.S. He added that the country tested its first nuclear weapon 13 years ago.The think tank director said, based on his conversation with many White House advisors, the consensus is that if and when Pyongyang fires an ICBM on Christmas Day, U.S. President Donald Trump would be "very insulted" and "very, very upset.
"And now North Korea is sort of going back to old tactics," he said, " I think what Trump is going to do is you're going to see him apply maximum pressure 2.0. You're going to see more sanctions, a beefed up U.S. presence in the region and I think we're going to go back to tensions of 2017."
