This report examines the United States’ negotiating strategy with North Korea and suggests key changes the US should make to reach a nuclear deal with North Korea. It argues that while the denuclearization of North Korea should remain a long-term goal, the US should first pursue a deal which partially rolls back the North Korean nuclear arsenal, freezes its ballistic missile program, and includes independent verification mechanisms. Predicating negotiations on the complete denuclearization of North Korea will imperil the talks, as North Korea views nuclear weapons as vital to its survival under the current security dynamics.
