On this episode of CNA Talks, North Korea analysts Ken Gause, Christopher Steinitz and Sarah Vogler sit down to discuss Kim Jong Un’s objectives in the nuclear negotiations. They point out that the nuclear program is an important part of Kim’s legitimacy, and that the U.S. will probably have to live with a nuclear North Korea in the short term. Finally, the team lays out a path for the negotiations that could eventually reduce North Korea’s nuclear arsenal.
