In this episode of #AskIvo, Council President Ivo Daalder gives his take on the relationship between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. 
Successive US administrations have sought to halt and reverse North Korea's nuclear quest through threats, inducements, and negotiations. None succeeded.
A primary worry among US and South Korean analysts is that President Trump will offer to reduce the number of US troops in Korea and receive no meaningful concessions from North Korea in return.
The United States is perceived as a greater threat around the world, is unable to convince its own public of what it has deemed a threat (China) and will struggle to enlist the help of allies.
If the president wants to wreck at least ten years of solid South Korean public support for the US-Korea alliance, he is already headed down the right path.
Global economics expert Phil Levy joins this week's Deep Dish podcast to explain what's going on between the US and China, and how lessons from the US shutdown might help explain what will happen next.
