Diplomacy and deterrence
In a 24-page document on Interim National Security Strategic Guidance released March 3, President Joe Biden instructed his security team still developing a new strategy toward North Korea to employ “diplomacy as our tool of first resort.”

Biden's options on N. Korea
Not much is known about how the Biden administration is doing in developing a new strategy to address the threats of North Korea's nuclear and missile programs. It is widely known that in the course of formulating a new policy, Biden's security team will coordinate closely with U.S. allies and partners in the region.

Biden's NK policy review
In just three weeks since its inauguration, the Biden administration has revealed its direction for charting American foreign policy to “engage and lead” the world again, with an emphasis on diplomacy, democracy and human rights. It has repealed a number - but not all - of the policies that were pursued by its predecessor.

Strategic engagement with N. Korea
The Biden administration is making it clear that it will review its policy toward North Korea in consultation with allies including South Korea and Japan to develop a new strategy to deter Pyongyang's nuclear program, according to White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki last Friday.

N. Korea's intractable threats
In a report to the Eighth Congress of the Workers Party last week, Chairman Kim Jong-un declared that North Korea has completed a reliable strategic nuclear arsenal that includes a tactical nuclear weapon, in addition to an intercontinental ballistic missile, but it will continue to advance the capability of its weapons by new technology, according to the state-run KCNA.

Human rights and nuclear talks
The human rights situation in North Korea has been an important component of U.S. policy toward the DPRK. However, the issue was never raised in conjunction with the North's nuclear and missile programs. The reason is simple. The human rights issue is separate from the enormous challenge of denuclearization, and raising it would complicate nuclear negotiations, creating obstacles to efforts towards progress.

A way forward on N. Korea
Last week, we heard key North Korean figure Kim Yo-jong reacting to Seoul's Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha's comments on the North's handling of COVID-19, as well as U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Stephen Biegun reflecting on the failure of U.S.-North negotiations on denuclearization.

Pyongyang's reticence on Biden
For weeks, North Korea has been silent on the outcome of the U.S. presidential election. Since Joe Biden was recognized as the U.S. president-elect, many world leaders, including Chinese President Xi Jinping and South Korean President Moon Jae-in, have called Biden to congratulate him on his victory.

Building on broken agreements with N. Korea
While President Donald Trump refuses to concede, President-elect Joe Biden's transition team is moving forward to prepare the next president to be ready to lead an America already in crisis from day one in office on Jan. 20 due to the pandemic and economic woes.

US election and North Korea
By Tong KimIt may take days or weeks to find out who has won the Nov. 3 presidential election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. With the expected delay in the vote count and pre-election polls being so close ― within the margins of error in some of the key swing states ― there are legitimate concerns that election results may end up in courts and in violence. However, any election disputes or any other aftermath should be settled in time according to the U.S. Constitution to ensure the peaceful transfer of power to a new president or the public swearing-in of Trump for a second term on Jan...
