-The White House of the United States announced on the 22nd (local time) that the North Korean nuclear issue was defined as a serious security threat and that it would pursue a’new strategy’ to respond. The Joe Biden administration has formalized its intention to take a different approach to the solution to the North Korean nuclear issue than its former Donald Trump administration. This is contrary to the South Korean government’s assertion that the Singapore-North Korea-US summit should succeed and develop, so there is concern about a crack in the process of coordinating North Korea policy in the future.

White House spokesman Jen Saki told a question about US policy toward North Korea at a press briefing on the day, “The President’s view is undoubtedly that North Korea’s nuclear ballistic missiles and other (nuclear) proliferation-related activities pose a serious threat to the peace and security of the international community. And undermine the global non-proliferation regime,” he said. “We have a great interest in deterring North Korea.”

“We will adopt a new strategy to keep the American people and alliances safe,” he said. “This approach will begin with a thorough review of ongoing North Korea policy.” Specifically, he explained, “We will review the current (North Korea) pressure and potential options for future diplomacy with Korea, Japan and other allies.”

Saki’s remarks are in line with the biden administration’s diplomatic and security team’s perception of dealing with North Korea in a different direction and tone from the Trump administration’s policy toward North Korea. “The first thing we will do is to look at the North Korean approach and policy as a whole,” said Tony Blincoln’s nominee at a personnel hearing, opening up the possibility of bringing the existing policy back to its true origin. The Biden administration is also known to have a negative view of the Trump administration’s independent dealings with North Korea and focusing only on the bilateral North Korea-US negotiations. It alienated China and Russia, which have influences in North Korea as well as South Korea and Japan, which are allies, and as a result missed the leverage that could be used for denuclearization negotiations. Sydney Syler, the North Korean officer of the National Intelligence Committee under the US National Intelligence Service (DNI), mentioned a multilateral approach such as the past six-party talks as a solution to the North Korean problem. Sailor said at a video debate held by the Institute for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) that “multilateral methods such as the six-party talks can be a solution to the North Korean problem.” Earlier on the 20th, the Chinese government think tank’China Globalization Center (CCG)’ also held the North Korean nuclear four-party talks in a report titled’China and the United States in Biden’s Era’, suggesting 12 ways to resolve the conflict between the United States and China. I picked it as one of them.
