Trump’s intelligence nominee calls for risk reduction in North Korea policy

Tulsi Gabbard’s comments mark another signal of potential shift away from longstanding U.S. focus on denuclearization

U.S. Director of National Intelligence nominee Tulsi Gabbard emphasized risk reduction as Washington’s top policy priority toward North Korea on Thursday, another signal of a potential shift away from the longstanding U.S. focus on denuclearization under the Trump administration.

In written remarks to the Senate Intelligence Committee ahead of her confirmation hearing, Gabbard said “U.S. policy priorities towards North Korea should center on our national security interests of reducing the threat posed by its nuclear weapons and missile programs.”
