The world has turned its attention to the events unfolding on the Korean Peninsula. A spark of interest first ignited during the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics has now evolved into a full-on charm offensive from North Korea (DPRK) and a puzzled group of foreign policy experts across the globe. Ahead of the U.S.-DPRK summit, which is scheduled to take place in either late May or early June, and to form a better picture of what we may expect to see in the coming months, we have asked four of our advisors to respond to the following prompt:
After a bipartisan, coast-to-coast outcry, President Trump signed an executive order maintaining the administration’s “zero tolerance” policy toward asylum-seekers and immigrants but – in a welcome move – terminating the practice of separating children from their families.
