WASHINGTON — South Korea’s president has said that former U.S. President Donald Trump is considering a strategy aimed at halting North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs, in remarks that come amid renewed debate over diplomacy on the Korean Peninsula.
The comments have revived attention on one of the most sensitive security issues in East Asia, where talks over Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons program have repeatedly stalled over the past decade.
North Korea is widely believed to possess nuclear weapons and long-range ballistic missiles capable of reaching parts of the United States and its allies, according to international security assessments.
Any renewed push for negotiations or pressure would face major challenges, as previous diplomatic efforts—including high-level summits—failed to produce a lasting agreement on denuclearization.
Officials in Washington and Seoul have not released detailed plans, and it remains unclear what form any potential strategy under discussion could take.
The development comes as tensions on the Korean Peninsula remain high, with continued concerns over missile testing and regional military buildup.
Further details are expected as officials clarify the scope of discussions.
