Max Fisher, a writer of The Interpreter of the New York Times online news, is critical about the optimism of Mr.Trump's upcoming meeting with Kim Jong-un. While the majority of Americans tend to read the term denuclearization as complete North Korea disarmament and possibly removing military threats from the entire peninsula, analysts and nuclear historians argue that both countries see this meeting as a zero-sum game. This has to do with clashing of reality, strategy, and expectation held very differently by the two. The North has always been depending on its nuclear threat as a survival means, and he may feel compelled to repeat this habit, with his hope of acceptance as a fellow great power, no so realistic. Meanwhile, Mr.Trump complicates uncertainty in regards to his willingness to negotiate sanction and military threat because of his unconstraint form international norms and diplomatic institutions. With that being said, my question is what would happen when or if these difference in the expectation cannot be reconciled. A M.I.T. professor Narang warns this gap can leave "either lots of room for a bargain, or lot of room for a war."
