Week 2
My Article
In this article it talks about how Trump is going to deal with North Korea and what actions he could take. In the article it states, "He (Trump) may be forced to operate within the narrow constraints of his predecessors." Obama stated the best way to deal with North Korea is to use a policy of "strategic patience." Meaning that he would strengthen sanctions and ultimately wait for North Korea to halt its Nuclear Program. It then goes on to say that the Trump administration has given North Korea some leeway and that, "his failure to focus on a North Korea policy has created a small space for progress on what the Obama administration considered to be the greatest threat to US security." Although Trump "has, at times, looked like a wrecking ball to the international order.", "North Korea appears to be taking a rational approach to Trump and waiting to see what happens in Washington." Trump is being guided carefully because if anything were to cause war with North Korea, we would have a big nuclear mess.

This relates to Ap Government because it talks about foreign policy and although we haven't learned about this yet I'm sure we are going to. We talk about how Trump is going to deal with Trump and we watched a segment on CNN 10 about the recent missile tests in Pyongyong, North Korea.

I feel like Trump is doing the right thing so far. I think he should give North Korea some space because if they feel that we are closing in on their personal space then they could do something very irrational and that would not be good. But If we give North Korea too much space then who knows what they could be up too. We need to be able to know what they are doing and be ready for anything that could happen. If they were too launch a nuclear missile towards the US we should know about it before it even takes off. We need to treat North Korea very carefully because anything that we do or they do could spark nuclear war.
