North Korea and President-elect Biden's foreign policy
When Joe Biden is sworn in as president on January 20 he will assume the presidency in the midst of a global pandemic that has taken the lives of more than a quarter million Americans and inherit an economy that is showing new signs of weakening. Managing the health and economic crises will be the administration's overriding priority, along with attempting to restore the faith in the U.S. government that has been lost under Donald Trump.

US election critical for Korea too
Record numbers of Americans have already taken advantage of early voting or cast their ballots by mail, while millions more will head to the polls in the next few days. The electoral choice they make will be the most consequential of their lifetimes, but it will also shape future U.S. policy on the Korean Peninsula as well.

Does 'October surprise' matter?
On July 5, 1945 British citizens went to the polls for the first time since 1935. Less than two months earlier the Allies had celebrated VE Day, an achievement that should have easily garnered incumbent Prime Minister Winston Churchill another Parliament in 10 Downing Street. However, when the votes were counted the Labour Party had won a 145 seat majority and Clement Attlee was Prime Minister.

Don't expect quick change with NK
Changes in foreign affairs can seem to happen suddenly at times. Few would have imagined in July 1971 that Richard Nixon would announce he planned to visit China the following year. The announcement earlier this August that Israel and the United Arab Emirates would normalize relations also caught observers by surprise. With Donald Trump suggesting that he could strike a deal quickly with Kim Jong-un if he is re-elected, could a similar surprise with North Korea occur before or after the U.S. presidential election in November?

Rethinking US troop reduction
It shouldn't be surprising that the United States and South Korea have yet to reach an agreement on Seoul's contribution to the cost of stationing U.S. troops in South Korea given the way the talks have gone.

American crises
The United States is in the midst of three crises that are undermining confidence at home and abroad. In recent years, the U.S. has suffered a slow decay of institutions. Key positions in government have been left unfilled and there has been a turn away from expertise to political ideology. The result has been an increasing unwillingness to listen to the experts that remain. That has left the U.S. more vulnerable to COVID-19.

Pandemic's impact on North Korea's trade with China
North Korea's decision at the end of January to close its border with China likely minimized any outbreak of COVID-19 domestically, but it has also had a significant impact on its trade with China.
2020-05-26 17:05
Need for COVID-19 humanitarian aid
More than 2.9 million people have contracted the coronavirus and over 207,000 have died as of April 27. The vast majority of those infections and deaths have been in the United States, Europe, and China.
2020-04-27 17:54
COVID-19 requires bold economic measures
The situation that the world faces today is grave. Borders are being shut and economies are coming to a standstill. French President Emanuel Macron put it simply, “We are at war.”
2020-03-25 18:16
Realistic US approach to North Korea
Every U.S. president ideally wants to head into their re-election campaign with foreign policy successes to tout to voters. However, foreign policy has traditionally had very little impact on U.S. elections unless there is something deeply wrong in the policy.
