VERTIC's @gechristopher & @hailey_wingo contributed to this ONN piece drawing on conclusions from a futures forecasting workshop last year. They discuss how recent events may impact nuclear negotiations with the DPRK.
A Feb 2024 VERTIC-ONN workshop examined the impact of Trump’s potential re-election on US-DPRK nuclear talks & #DPRK arsenal. New #ThoughtRoom piece concludes the DPRK is unlikely to negotiate or alter its nuclear programme, regardless of the US election.🔗platform.opennuclear.org/tho…
