As global attention centers on the conflict between the U.S. and Iran, interest in North Korea has waned. However, security experts report increasing momentum for renewed diplomatic talks between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and former U.S. President Donald Trump. This development raises the possibility of restarting top-level negotiations between Washington and Pyongyang.

Japan and South Korea face the risk of being sidelined in this evolving U.S.-North Korea diplomacy. The renewed outreach from Trump to Kim Jong Un signals a potential shift in engagement strategies.
