The world has grappled with North Korea’s defiant leadership for decades, and recent months have seen increased tensions on all sides. The country’s growing nuclear capabilities pose great risk to North Korea’s neighbors, undermining regional stability. Yet, at the same time, the Korean Peninsula’s diplomatic riddle has succeeded in bringing countries around the world together, particularly China and the U.S., in a way that other areas of mutual interest have not. Please join Governor Bill Richardson, a diplomat and lawmaker whose work has brought him to North Korea eight times, and ABC News International Editor, Jon Williams, to discuss the present North Korea threat and how it might be resolved.
