Jenny Town on North Korean Missile Tests and ROK-U.S. Summit

Jenny Town, Director of Stimson’s 38 North Program, views that Pyongyang’s recent missile tests provided Kim Jong Un with tangible political outcomes, showcasing his strength of will amid a time of domestic struggle. Ms. Town states that the ROK-US summit is a symbol of bilateral cooperation, manifesting Yoon’s willingness to deepen ties and the gravity of Korean Peninsula issues in Washington. Finally, she notes the need for Washington’s policy circles to refrain from narrowing down their focus on great power competition and pivot their attention towards regional dynamics and bilateral relations and the importance of incorporating South Korean voices in the U.S. policymaking process to deal with North Korea’s threats.
