Explanation of Value:
I believe this is important because we should care about our relation with other countries especially in times of economic recession. North Korea has been a threat to the United States ever since they pulled out of the Nuclear Weapon Proliferation Treaty. Their decision to build nuclear arms and test them in their long-range missiles only weakens their. This presents a clear and present danger to our national security.
Will diplomatic talks be enough for North Korea to stop there nuclear arms build up?
What should the U.S. do to prevent them from using their missiles?
