World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh The Policy and Politics of US Nuclear Strategy

Wednesday, October 24, 2018 - 11:30am to 1:30pm
Duquesne Club 325 Sixth Avenue The Walnut Room

World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh

North Korea is years beyond the nuclear “breakout” the US so fears in Iran. Yet, there are similarities in how the US strategy should be shaped to reduce the threat of a nuclear crisis with both countries. Is the US safer today or more at risk following President Trump’s withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal and meeting with Kim Jong-un?
