North Korea is waiting for Trump to blink ... or leave office | Analysis by jgriffiths
Pyongyang conducted its second ballistic missile test in a week Thursday, escalating tensions with Washington that have been growing since the collapse of a second round of talks between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Vietnam. While attempting to assign cause for North Korea's actions is often a losing game, it is surely no coincidence that the tests comes off the back of Kim's successful first summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
South Korea suspects Pyongyang fired two short-range missiles 03:31Strong-arm tacticsNorth Korea's current hand is a strong one, even if the potential risks of overplaying it are very real. Trump is caught up with numerous other issues, and he can likely not afford a rapid escalation of tensions that would be a tacit admission that his entire strategy towards Pyongyang has been a failure.
How the Hanoi summit unraveled 02:25Running out the clock?So far, Trump's reaction to North Korea's latest tests has been rather muted."Nobody's happy about it," he said, but added,"the relationship continues." Rocket man, this ain't. Pyongyang may have calculated correctly that Trump is unwilling to let his signature foreign policy success slip through his fingers, and it may be able to be forced back to the negotiating table.
