First Presbyterian Church 540 William Hilton Parkway, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina 29928
The two historic meetings between Trump and the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un alleviated tensions between the two nations who at one time seemed on the brink of a military encounter. But there is a “fundamental difference in understanding” between the two sides regarding the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, the major goal of the summits. This is a complicated game of diplomacy with both sides looking to make the next best move. Ambassador Joseph Yun, former US Special Representative for North Korea Policy, is recognized as one of the nation’s leading experts on relations with North Korea, as well as on broader US-East Asian policy. Ambassador Yun will share his insights into North Korea and its short and long-term goals and discuss the prospect of Kim abandoning North Korea's nuclear weapons.
