The Defense Intelligence Agency says that North Korea has already developed a miniaturized nuclear weapon that can fit on top of an ICBM. The number of nuclear bombs is also growing larger, though estimates differ. Global concerns about an evolving North Korean military threat appears to be advancing far more rapidly than many experts had predicted. Rhetoric has become more and more threatening from both America and North Korea. 

• What are the elements of President Trump’s policy?
  
• How has the U.N. responded?
  
• Are these the best policy options?
  
• Is the U.S. reading the issues and evidence correctly?
  
• What diplomatic tools are available to deescalate the crisis?
