The North-South Dialogue: RIP or Can It Be Resuscitated?
BY: DANIEL R. DEPETRIS AND RICHARD SOKOLSKY

...If the current stalemate in the North-South dialogue leads to a full breakdown, it would be a major step back from what could potentially be a historic peace and security regime on the Korean Peninsula. This would not only be a missed opportunity for the two Koreas but a monumental blunder for the US, which has a vested interest in nipping the prospects of military escalation and confrontation in the bud. The Trump administration has done nothing to enable progress in North-South diplomacy, and in fact, its diplomacy on denuclearization and sanctions relief in Hanoi put another nail in the coffin in another case of diplomatic malpractice.
