The second U.S.-North Korea summit will have major repercussions for the future of North Korea’s denuclearization and peace on the Korean Peninsula. Unpacking the second summit is going to be a long term process but it will be seen as a major turning point—both positively and negatively—on prospects for North Korea’s denuclearization, the extent of inter-Korean détente, and the future of the U.S.-ROK alliance.

Experts from around the world will assess the implications of the summit.

This event is cosponsored by the Asan Institute for Policy Studies.
