Peter Beck Washington Quotations

Any American who watches Korea in Washington will watch closely how it will unfold.

As time goes on, I am expecting, I am waiting for North Korea to act in a provocative manner, to lash out verbally, potentially even with a missile or even a nuclear test. Especially as Washington continues to try to squeeze them, and they are going to look for a way to get the world's attention by saying or doing something that is provocative.

Washington is certainly concerned that Seoul's North Korean policy will lean further to the left.

The risk of this agreement is exactly what many hawks in Washington had warned about. You reduce the sense of urgency and let people grow comfortable with the status quo.
