If any deal with North Korea requires U.S. military concessions, the Senate will likely insist on tight verification, as with other nuclear arms treaties.

We must also keep in mind that North Korea has been on a quest for nuclear arms since the 1950s – when Kim's grandfather ruled.
|
|
President Trump should give North Korea 30 days – and not any more time – to cut a deal on its abandonment of its nuclear arms.
