Will President Biden affect a positive impact on relations with Kim Jong Un and North Korea?
Or will they follow in the footsteps of the Trump administration’s failed polices?
Just days before President Biden’s inauguration, Kim Jong-Un flexed North Korea’s military might in a display of power with a large parade, revealing weapons of mass destruction, despite the country’s impoverished populace.
Now, since Kim Jong-Un has clearly shown that North Korea is ready to continue fighting denuclearization, all eyes are on President Biden to see how he and his administration will handle this conflict.
Based off of news sources such as the Associated Press, it seems Biden’s plan will take a much different tack than the Trump administration.
Biden plans to work very closely with allies such as South Korea. He is also unlikely to meet in person with the North Korean leader due to Trump’s failed summits with him in the past.
It seems that the main goal of the Biden administration is to reach diplomacy and come to an agreement on some clear steps toward denuclearization.
The Biden administration believes that through less forceful maneuvering and working in conjunction with our allies, it will yield greater results than Trump’s buddy-buddy approach.
Overall, it’s hard to say if the Biden administration will be able to affect any lasting changes. But as Biden is much more willing to work with the leaders of other countries and make strategic plans, working to influence a compromised agreement, we can all have hope that this administration will do much better than the previous administration.
