The nuclear tension between the United States and North Korea has been a focal point of international relations and global security for decades. This tension arises from North Korea’s persistent pursuit of nuclear capabilities and the United States’ efforts to curb this ambition through diplomatic, economic, and military strategies. The interplay of power politics is evident in the sanctions imposed by the US and its allies, North Korea’s strategic provocations, and the periodic yet fragile negotiations aimed at denuclearization. The study explores the historical context of the US-North Korea nuclear standoff, examining key events and policies that have shaped the current landscape. It also analyzes the broader implications for global security, including the role of international organizations, the impact on regional stability in East Asia, and the potential for nuclear proliferation. By understanding the dynamics of power relations and the strategic interests of both nations, these abstract aims to provide a comprehensive overview of one of the most critical security challenges in contemporary international politics.
