초록
United States President Donald Trump has already made at least one statement referring to North Korea as a nuclear power, although has subsequently walked back those remarks. While China continues to call for denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, Russia appears to have abandoned that agenda, embracing its treaty ally’s nuclear status. This article examines what “de facto” recognition of a country’s nuclear status looks like and how North Korea is steadily making progress toward those milestones. To effectively counter North Korea’s strategic ambitions, it is imperative for the ROK (Republic of Korea)-US alliance to maintain a unified stance on the objective of North Korea’s denuclearization and to ensure the credible implementation of extended deterrence commitments in response to the security threats posed by North Korea’s nuclear capabilities.
