Fears of a nuclear arms race in Asia after Trump’s North Korea comments

  • Summary

  • In his first week back in the White House, Donald Trump has said North Korea is a ‘nuclear power’ and described its leader Kim Jong-un as a ‘very smart guy’. The Times’ Asia Editor Richard Lloyd Parry explains why that has sparked fears of nuclear proliferation in South Korea, and whether the US president can get the deal with Pyongyang which eluded him in his first term.


    The World in 10 is the Times' daily podcast dedicated to global security. Expert analysis of war, diplomatic relations and cyber security from The Times' foreign correspondents and military specialists.
