Democrats drop North Korean denuclearization from platform for 2024 US election

Expert says change reflects recognition that DPRK will not give up nukes, anticipating greater focus on arms control

The 91-page document released Sunday, ahead of the Democratic National Convention where Kamala Harris will formally accept her party’s nomination, emphasizes that the U.S. will bolster cooperation with allies to counter North Korea’s military cooperation with Russia.
