Let's get some expert analysis on North Korea's launch.
We have Kim Young-jun, professor of National Security Affairs at Korea National Defense
University in the studio.
North Korea's missile test shows a potential range of 13-thousand kilometers -- that means
(technically) Pyongyang can deliver a nuclear weapon to any city in the United States.
They seem to have mastered miniaturization,... the final step appears to be re-entry technology,...
how far away are they from that?
Usually North Korea launches missiles in mid-morning hours, but
this one was fired at around 3am, local time, under the cover of darkness.
Is the time
of the launch significant?
With this latest launch, are we going to have to learn to live with North Korea's ability
to target with United States with nuclear weapons?
In your opinion, is there anything -- outside of a military option -- that can be done to
stop the
North at
this point?
How should
President Trump handle North Korea now it has just tested a ballisitc missile likely
capable of hitting Washington DC?
Do you think it's time for him to meet Kim Jong-un?
How do you think such
an offer would be taken by the regime?
Thanks for your insights, professor.

University.
