I feel that Trump doesn’t have a clear strategy to deal with Korea peninsula nuclear crisis. On the one hand, he said he would seek to make Seoul pay for the controversial defense outfit, causing both confusion and anger among allies in the South. On the other hand, he is breaking the US government tradition that no direct dialogue with the North Korea. He said he is willing to have a direct talk with the North Korea. The consequence of such a chaos may be beneficial to Kim Jong Un — when he bargains with big powers, he may raise more excessive “requirements”.
