Summary/Abstract: The Trump administration intends to robustly respond to the “immediate” missile and nuclear threat from North Korea. Its strategy will be, to a large extent, a continuation of previous policy. A new element, though, is pressure on China to take full advantage of its leverage over Kim Jong Un’s regime. Growing tensions on the Korean Peninsula could have significant implications on the relationship between the U.S. and its European allies.
