#1 I still fail to see the rationale for the Trump administration's approach.

The best outcome is North Korea signing a nuclear disarmament agreement.

North Korea will cash in on sanctions relief and ~~danegeld~~ aid. And the realistic assumption is that North Korea will cheat.

It didn't work in 1994, and it won't work now that the US is strategically weaker and North Korea & ~~puppet masters~~ allies are strategically stronger and bolder.

Wouldn't it be better to just let the sanctions work?

Better to be a statesman with an iron fist, EH.
