If Trump Doesn't Want a Nuclear War With North Korea, a 'No First Use' Pledge Might Work Better Than Threats

Donald Trump has threatened to “totally destroy” North Korea with “fire and fury” should it cross some ambiguous tripwire. By being vague about where that tripwire lies, Trump seems to believe that his threat, coupled with harsher economic sanctions, will force Kim Jong In to back down.

"If Trump Doesn't Want a Nuclear War With North Korea, a 'No First Use' Pledge Might Work Better Than Threats" is from the October 16, 2017 Opinion section of The Washington Post. It was written by Steven J. Brams and narrated by Sam Scholl.
