North Korea’s foreign policy may be a relic of its regime’s post-Cold War desire for survival, but that doesn’t mean President Donald Trump is going to follow the same foreign policy path as his predecessors in dealing with the rogue state.
On Saturday, U.S. Pacific Command announced that it was redirecting the Carl Vinson carrier strike group to the Korean peninsula. The strike group’s warfare capacity includes early warning radars, electronic-warfare technology, more than 300 missile tubes, and Hornets.
National security adviser H. R. McMaster told “Fox News Sunday” on Sunday that “the president has asked to be prepared to give him a full range of options to remove that threat to the American people and to our allies and partners in the region.” McMaster added that, during Trump’s weekend summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, that both world leaders were concerned about North Korea’s rise as a nuclear power and that “President Xi and President Trump agreed that that is unacceptable, that what must happen is the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.”
