In 2018-2019, North Korea wanted major sanctions relief in exchange for shutting down their Yongbyon nuclear facility. The US rejected this proposal, earning Trump praise for walking away from a “bad deal.” Now they’re expanding Yongbyon and have an economic lifeline thanks to Russia.

So if the diplomatic window opens again, the US will have even less leverage for a deal that will almost certainly be worse than the one it previously rejected. We’re told that no deal is better than a bad deal - but the US needs to recognize that a bad deal now is better than a worse one later.
