Prospects for Peaceful Co-Existence on the Korean Peninsula

Can we block a march toward war? For the first time in more than half a century, North and South Korea are approaching a cautious rapprochement.

Although President Trump plans to meet with North Korean Premier Kim Jong-Un in May, he has not appointed an ambassador to South Korea, but has appointed notorious wahawks as Secretary of State and National Security Advisor, and continues to issue dire threats of further sanctions and military action.

Under these complex and contradictory conditions, what are the prospects for peace--and how can US progressives pressure our government to pursue them?
