JUST IN: 🇰🇵🇺🇸 Kim Jong Un watches as North Korea conducts engine test for missile capable of targeting US mainland.


The US counters North Korea's missile tests via targeted sanctions, intelligence sharing, joint military drills with South Korea/Japan, and diplomatic isolation efforts. Direct intervention risks immediate war on the peninsula, nuclear escalation, and involvement from China—costs that outweigh benefits in every administration's calculus. Past talks (e.g., 2018-19 summits) sought freezes but didn't hold. Deterrence remains the focus.
