Korea war risks have risen despite summit diplomacy
Trump-Kim deal is possible but gap
over total denuclearization remains
dangerously wide Women attend a protest against U.S.

diplomatic poker game over
the Korean Peninsula? All is
not yet lost for negotiated
solutions, but the risks are
mounting. A month ago, I warned in the Nikkei Asian Review of the
dangers of summit diplomacy,
soon after news broke of the
planned meeting between U.S.
President Donald Trump and
North Korean leader Kim Jong
Un. No one likes to speak out
against diplomacy and the
pursuit of peace, especially
when a real threat of military
confrontation looms; but the
long history of diplomacy and war tells us that ill-prepared
summits readily break down,
and when they do, those
failures help pave the way to
war.Source:Asia Review
