Recent moves by Pyongyang have focused attention on what will be one of the first major foreign policy challenges facing the next U.S. president.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called for an “exponential increase’ in the size of his nation’s nuclear arsenal.

State media released photos for the first time of the Nuclear Weapons Institute where North Korea processes uranium for the manufacture of nuclear weapons.

A second Trump administration may say “denuclearization is no longer possible” and “accept North Korea as a nuclear power’ Robert Rapson , who served as charge d’affaires and deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul , said much would depend on how the winner of the election decides to work with regional allies South Korea and Japan .

Rapson said it was “uncertain at this moment” whether Trump would feel compelled to reach out to Kim .
