The new US administration is drawing attention as it mentions a new strategy in relation to North Korea. The new strategy also means that we will go on a different route from the previous administration, so it seems that we will review the policies toward North Korea again. How it would be different, American experts thought.
Correspondent Lim Jong-joo from Washington has delivered.

[젠 사키/미국 백악관 대변인 (현지시간 22일) : 북한의 핵 탄도미사일과 핵확산 활동은 심각한 위협입니다. 미국과 동맹을 지키기 위해 새로운 전략을 채택할 것입니다.]
Responding to this “new strategy” by the United States, Robert Einhorn, a former State Department special reporter, replied, “I am confident that the Trump administration will be more realistic than it had attempted to achieve full denuclearization early.”
“We will look for small steps towards building new political relations and reducing the nuclear threat,” said Patrick Cronin, chair of security at the Hudson Institute.
It is expected that it will be clearly different from the previous collective settlement approach.
“The new approach will be a way to ensure collective security policy,” said Evans Revere, former deputy assistant secretary of state.
Ken Goss, director of the US Naval Analysis Center, predicted that “there will be no radical changes to the traditional US stance that has focused on strong alliances and deterrence against North Korea.
However, experts recalled that the adoption of the new strategy could take time, given that the US administration has been cautious about important policy issues.
Although North Korea may be impatient, he warned that it should avoid making provocations to pressure the United States.
It is that it is possible to violate the mistake of raising skepticism toward North Korea.
He also expressed the view that the Biden administration will continue to speak out on North Korean human rights issues, but will not deviate from its core goal of reducing nuclear risk.
