Sibylline Podcast - North Korea - Re-Escalation Of Tensions Suggests Long-Term Regional Security Threat Likely To Persist

12 minutes

Tensions have risen again on the Korean Peninsula, threatening the recent rapprochement and culminating in the potential cancellation of the Kim-Trump summit. We evaluate the current situation, exploring the reasons behind the deterioration of relations, as well as the broader implications.

Key points include:

• Understanding Trump’s decision to cancel the summit.

• Considering whether or not the summit is still likely to take place.

• The implications of cooling relations for the regional security environment.

• The consequences of the current situation for the North Korean regime.

• The significance of the rising tensions for Sino-US relations.

• The likely trajectory of North Korean behaviour going forward.
