Tianran Xu interviewed by TRT Global: "Can Trump’s ties with Kim Jong-un lead to denuclearisation?"

As tensions on the Korean Peninsula continue to rise and diplomatic relations with the West remain strained, analysts are observing a notable shift in North Korea’s strategic posture.

“At a time when the global divide between liberal and illiberal parts of the world is rapidly widening, Pyongyang now views isolation from the West (including South Korea), and closer alignment with illiberal powers, as its path to survival and growth.”
