DEFCON UN Kim Jong-un branded a ‘catastrophic threat’ as he secretly preps nukes, launches missiles and sells arms to terrorists. Joe Biden might have his hands full with North Korea.
North Korea is likely to face a different beast when it begins to engage with the Biden administration after two years of high profile and glamourous overtures with Trump.
Biden has reportedly ordered a review of US policy on North Korea as he weighs further actions against the regime.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the administration views North Korea as a "growing problem" that "has gotten worse across administrations."
Ms Varriale told The Sun Online: "Biden is already shifting slightly from the approach Trump took in that he is prioritising coordination with allies, especially South Korea and Japan.
"And if the Biden review concludes diplomacy is a policy priority, it will likely want to include substantive, working level diplomacy rather than just glitzy high-level summits,"
Mr Snyder added: "The main difference from the Obama administration is Blinken's clear admission that the North Korea threat has grown, and therefore implicitly that strategic patience cannot be an option."
Meanwhile, Dr Pacheco-Pardo said: "From what I know talking to people in Washington, Biden will look to be more balanced than Trump on North Korea.
"The sanctions will not be going anywhere, but there will be more engagement at the working level - and its clear to everyone that Biden has no incentive to meet with Kim Jong-Un."
