Trump and Kim's provocations aren't helping
RUSI's report heavily cited Trump's ongoing provocations against North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Earlier this month, the US president referred to Kim as "Rocket Man" in a speech to the United Nations, and Kim responded by calling Trump a "mentally deranged US dotard."
Trump also threatened that Kim and his foreign minister, Ri Yong Ho, "won't be around much longer." Ri said this was effectively a declaration of war.
Gass condemned these actions, saying any attempts to negotiate with North Korea peacefully "cannot be helped by name-calling and exchanges of ritual insults by the main two parties to the debate."
