Nuclear armament won't help deter North Korea
South Korea obtaining nuclear armament will not stop North Korea’s military provocations or deter its nuclear threats, experts on the North said Thursday. They expect deploying tactical nuclear weapons will only give Pyongyang more reason to speed up its nuclear development. “The call to reintroduce nuclear weapons reflects an understandable frustration,” Stephan Haggard, dir...

New sanctions still provide loopholes for N. Korea
The latest sanctions on North Korea will not stop its illicit activities overseas to earn hard currency as they still provide loopholes for the reclusive country to evade sanctions, analysts said Wednesday.

US-N. Korea peace treaty would be 'disaster'
The United States should never sign a peace treaty with North Korea just to control the reclusive country’s nuclear threats, experts on the North warned Wednesday.

Trump FTA threat is a mere tactic to induce concession
U.S. President Donald Trump’s rhetoric on withdrawing from the free trade agreement (FTA) with South Korea is a strategy calibrated to gain concessions in renegotiations, according to global analysts, Tuesday. They said that Trump wants to show his commitment to delivering on his campaign promise to fix “unfair trade” and South Korea has become a target. These views came after Trump ordered his economic advisers to prepare for the U.S. to withdraw from the FTA because the allies had only reaffirmed their differences on the trade deal at a recent meeting in Seoul.
