WASHINGTON — A renowned expert weighed in on Thursday regarding President Donald Trump's potential stance on acknowledging North Korea's nuclear weapons possession. Victor Cha, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), shared his thoughts during a podcast.

Cha noted that Pyongyang might hold off on any possible summit with Trump until after the November midterm elections. The discussion arises as Trump endeavors to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un later this year, amid uncertainties about whether he would fulfill the longstanding objective of North Korea's nuclear disarmament.
