Now that North Korean president Kim Jong Un has rejected Donald Trump’s offer to “go big” and agree to immediate, full denuclearisation, the US president has a choice to make: double down or embrace the art of the possible. Despite the overtures, Mr Kim remains convinced that nuclear weapons guarantee his security, stature and survival. Full denuclearisation remains an important aspiration, but the more practical challenge is to reduce nuclear danger now.
美国总统唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)提议“做笔大的交易”,让朝鲜答应立即开启全面无核化,朝鲜最高领导人金正恩(Kim Jong Un)已经拒绝了。如今特朗普需要做出一个选择:是加倍下注,还是接受“关于可能的艺术”。尽管摆出了友好姿态,但金正恩仍坚信,核武器是保障他的安全、地位和生存的法宝。全面无核化仍是一个重要目标,但更现实的挑战是如何降低眼下的核威胁。
