North Korea’s missile and nuclear testing has reached an unprecedented pace. These provocations take place in the context of two new administrations in the United States with President Donald Trump and in South Korea with President Moon Jae-in. What does North Korea want? How will the alliance respond to these challenges? What is the outlook for national security more broadly?

Professor Victor Cha , Senior Adviser and Korea Chair for the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and former director of Asian affairs at The White House National Security Council, will share some of his latest research related to these topics.

A networking reception will follow.
